3rd Hour Group 4

In an article that I read from the website called fortythirtyeight.com it spoke of the debate on whether or not cell phones give people brain cancer.  The title of the article was "Cellphones Do Not Give You Brain Cancer" ,well, this shows where their views stand.  I have, in the past, worried about cell phones giving brain cancer.  I still refuse to sleep with my phone next to my head, just incase it actually does give cancer.  This article put my mind at ease a little bit when it said that this statement is too hard to prove.  Too many people use cellphones for a perfect study to be made of it.  An individual would have to be followed around for years without using a cellphone; there are also many different factors that could influence the result.  Attached is a graph showing the amount of brain cancer increase over the years.  The article states "It found that brain tumor rates are pretty much unchanged since mobile phones arrived. If the Swedish team is right about the size of the cellphone effect, tumor rates would be 40 percent higher than they are. There is virtually no way its results are correct.".  This is a very logical explanation; this article was very informative and I recommend reading it!
