INDEPENDENT RESEARCH STUDIES

Beware of so-called independently conducted research especially that which is carried out and funded by the industry being investigated! For example, the cellular phone industry tests its phones for radiation leaks which may possibly be linked to brain cancer. However, the cellular phone industry supposedly "shutout" the U.S. government from conducting its own research on the matter!

Critics charge that some cell phones may leak more radiation than others. It may be like holding a microwave oven up to your ear when it comes to the amount of radiation being emitted! The research conducted by the cell phone industry may never find a correlation between cell phone use and brain cancer, or any other human malady for that matter.
