    This article, to be complete, should at least refer to what will become an even more important health and industrial scandal than that of Dieselgate, namely Phonegate, you will find the references in the dedicated Wikipedia sheet, for the moment only in French. And a few days ago the American organization Project Censored ranked Phonegate as the 4th most censored subject in the USA…one wonders why…https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonegate

      since the document is indeed written in French, but no other language, it makes me wonder just how big of a deal this is. There is always a group of people dedicated to the conspiracy de jour. With as many people using cell phones as there are, if there really was a connection between that usage and say, brain cancer, you’d expect to see hundreds of thousands of cases, not a handful.
      And if this subject is the 4th most censored subject, I wonder what the frontrunners are ?

        Unless your search the term or the reference they made, which brings up a lot of information and other stories, including the studies. But on the other hand, one page is in French so it’s probably fake.

          Your answer is neither serious nor argumentative on the substance of the subject. For information there are good automatic translators waiting for the next translation in the English wikipedia which should not be long in coming. And if you want more information go to our website http://www.phonegatealert.org where all articles are translated into English. When do the journalists who wrote the article think?

        I just read an article published by Popular Science on what they describe as one of (if not the) largest studies ever done on this subject. 10 years/ $30MM/ & thousands of rodents later and there is still no correlation between cell phone usage and cancer of any kind, let alone brain cancer.
        The bottom line is that it is nearly impossible to prove that something DOES NOT cause cancer even if there is little to no evidence to prove that it does, and for that reason, the conspiracy theorists can continue mumbling incoherently about hidden reports, etc.
        Sorry Alerte. You’ll need to move on the flat earth or faked moon landings.

    This article should mention that American Cancer Society Chief Medical Officer Otis Brawley, MD, immediately resigned his post after 11 years after making the statement included in this article. Also, his statement was false since the brain cancer associated with heavy cell phone use has doubled in the UK since cell phones were introduced AND the CDC is now reporting an increase in brain tumors among 20yrs and younger.

    Note that Physicians for Safe Technology has gone on record as stating: “It appears that we are at the same point of emerging science similar to early recognition of health impacts associated with tobacco, asbestos, coal dust and lead.” At scientific conferences in Israel and Colorado last year, Dr. Anthony Miller of the University of Toronto announced that the science on wireless radiation has reached a consensus of risk. Many other international scientists have testified that there is ample data to suggest concern. We are at the same place we were with climate change science in the ’90s when the media and fossil fuel corporations were still spreading lies about the scientific consensus, just as the wireless corporations are doing now.

      I agree that there needs to be more time, more studies and more data collected, but you would think that by now, decades into the cell phone era, with millions and millions of users, that if there were a direct link between the two, that incidents of cancer related to cell phone use would be off the map.

      If there isn’t enough data for unbiased scientists to find a correlation, then I don’t think you can accuse wireless corporations of lying, they are telling the truth as we know it today.
      I just read an article published by Popular Science on what they describe as one of (if not the) largest studies ever done on this subject. You can find this online without much trouble. The article is titled “Cell phones pose plenty of risks, but none of them are cancer”

      The bottom line is that it is nearly impossible to prove that something DOES NOT cause cancer even if there is little to no evidence to prove that it does, and for that reason, the conspiracy theorists can continue mumbling incoherently about hidden reports, etc.
