- There is a risk of brain tumors from cellphone use;
- Telecom funded studies underestimate the risk of brain tumors, and;
- Children have larger risks than adults for brain tumors.
This report, sent to government leaders and media today, details eleven design flaws of the 13-country, Telecom-funded Interphone study
The Interphone study, begun in 1999, was intended to determine the risks of brain tumors, but its full publication has been held up for years.
Components of this study published to date reveal what the authors call a 'systemic-skew', greatly underestimating brain tumor risk.
The cardinal design flaws include
--categorizing subjects who used portable phones (which emit the same microwave radiation as cellphones,) as 'unexposed';
--exclusion of many types of brain tumors;
--exclusion of people who had died, or were too ill to be interviewed, as a consequence of their brain tumor;
--and exclusion of children and young adults, who are more vulnerable.
