Not long ago, Five Nerds made a semi-tasteless (alright, completely tasteless) joke about the longstanding hypothesis that cell-phones give you cancer.
We said that it wouldn’t be long before people were shouting about the risks of radiating our noggins, and it appears we were right.
Submitted for your reading pleasure, an article about a recent study which suggests that people who use their phones actively have “significantly higher” brain activity in the area closest to the telephone antenna. The National Institutes of Health study measured glucose metabolism of the brain as an indicator, and it is still too early to predict whether the effects are long-lasting or dangerous.
The article further suggests that wireless earpieces might be a lower wattage alternative to holding your antenna so close to your dome.
With that said, if you have the choice of radiating your brain, or not radiating your brain, it really doesn’t seem like a choice, does it?
