Cell Towers Not Responsible For Illness 355
drewmoney notes a BBC article on a major UK study of whether cell towers (or "mobile phone masts" as they are called in the UK) cause illness. The study concluded strongly that symptoms of illness caused by mobile phone masts are all in the mind. People claiming sensitivity to radio emissions showed more symptoms in trials, according to the article, whether signals were being emitted or not. Quoting: "Dozens of people who believed the masts triggered symptoms such as anxiety, nausea and tiredness could not detect if signals were on or off in trials. However, the Environmental Health Perspectives study stressed people were nonetheless suffering 'real symptoms.' Campaign group Mast Sanity said the results were skewed as 12 people in the trials dropped out because of illness."

I thought it was insightful, but I didn't have mod points today; I also haven't had my first cup of coffee yet. I never use mod points until I have my first cup of coffee as lack of caffeine hinders my reasoning capabilities. I'm off to find coffee before I post something else like this and find my karma so low I have to dig for it. Be back in an hour to join you fine gents' in todays series of flame wars.
