Best to use a headset with that cellphone Janice Roosevelt, Keller Williams Real Estate, PA & DE

Okay, okay, I am now ready to get a headset. Seems like the jury is still out but there does appear to be a correlation to rare brain tumors and the use of cell phones as incidated by this NEW YORK TIMES report.

I have the vision of the the 7,000 realtorsa all on cell phones at the recent KW Famikly Reunion in LA

 

Researchers from the National Institutes of Health have found that less than an hour of cellphone use can speed up brain activity in the area closest to the phone antenna, raising new questions about the health effects of low levels of radiation emitted from cellphones.

The researchers, led by Dr. Nora D. Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, urged caution in interpreting the findings because it is not known whether the changes, which were seen in brain scans, have any meaningful effect on a person's overall health.

But the study, published Wednesday in The Journal of the American Medical Association, is among the first and largest to document that the weak radio-frequency signals from cellphones have the potential to alter brain activity.

Janice I am going out to head a headset today. I have had so many phones and bluetooth to go with each and this one I have not.  I am headed there today.  Thank you for the post.
