Cell phones ' a health risk' for kids..

My 15 yr old son is going to be brain dead then because his cell is connected to his ear. If he is not talking on it then he is texting. They always think everything is so harmful. Did you read about the plastic water bottles now? They have something in them that isn't good for you. Im still drinking water.

Ok. I agree that excessive anything is not good. There should be balance in life. However! I do not believe that there is enough measurable damage where there should be any concern. Research like this and the resulting information passed along is what causes widespread panic and hype. I worry less about any radiation from my cell phone than I do about radiation from xrays - which is almost nil because I probably get an xray once every few years?

I DO worry more about the volume levels my kids listen to their ipods on. My older daughter had given me hers to use once when I went out for a jog. She hadn't adjusted the volume. I almost blasted my ear drums out when I turned it on! No wonder every time I was calling her from the other end of the house she'd yell back 'WHAT?!' like she couldn't hear me.

thats scary!! but im glad that i had no children now and all are grown up..i really appreciated for the information you had posted here..and more power!!

A HEALTH RISK for everyone, cell phones are bad,bad,bad

Hello dear svka. You are right that excessive use of anything is a harm. I have also found out this when we use our cell phones for too long a time. There were a few times that I was on the cell phone for too long that I felt hurt in the head because I felt like that I had a headache later on that day when I answered the phone too long. Now I always avoid using the cell phone too much or talking too long on the cell phone. I am thinking that I need to get an earphone for my Nokia 1100 cell phone so that I can use the earphone to make and answer a phone call in order not to get myself hurt by the electro magnetic radiations. Thanks.

I am not sure about this, I have heard and read a lot of things about it but I am just not sure at all. I dont actually make phone calls on my mobile at all, too expensive and so it would not really affect me and my kids who have phones only use theirs for texting too.

I don't have any kids yet however I know the great impact on using the mobile phones too much. It does emit radiations so that was why I feel my ear getting hot if I am on the phone too long, I believe it is the radiation. I would not let my future kids to have their own mobile phone until they are old enough. What kids did not feel when they are talking on the phone too long was not just the radiation but it also incurs high costs on amount of calls they made. Maybe as a parent it is hurting my wallet.

good day.. I know something of this first hand. We did a research about a decade ago when I'm still at med school. We used analog cellphones then. We position 6 analog cellphones around an egg and rung them simultaneously for about 5 minutes. It literally cooked the egg, scientific term for it is protein denaturation. It acted like a microwave, imagine what can this do to your brain cells.
