Yeah, one in three might have cancer, and they might've found a cure for it in the 12 years left... Worry about it when the time comes.

If we get old enough, we will all die of cancer. It's nature's last-resort way of weeding out spent forces if accidents, predators, poisonous mushrooms, famine and plagues fail to achieve that.

And if we don't?
Worry about it when it comes? The cause of the problem is now.

Wow, so the cancer from cell phones thing is STILL going around huh...

One of my friends still believes that Diet Coke gives you cancer because of the saccharine.

well the overall reaction to this article tonight in the ER is one it's poorly translated. And two, its probably true. So are your chances of catching tons of other cancers. I see it every day, it happens.

"On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero."

guys, i just watched some dump on the news about how not to reuse water bottles and people around me are now going crazy with it. A 40 year old guy at work was telling me how he reused bottles for the past 30 years and he is fine. Unless it happens first hand, its just another media scare. Just like Y2K, just like the world ending in 2012. If cancer from a cell phone doesn't kill you, a drunk driver will. Or a heart attack, or a infected hemorrhoid. It's all lurking out there, which one has your name in site? I personally think it entertaining to see how people are going to die. You could have some lady who smokes 20 packs a day die in a hang gliding accident and you can see the worlds best athlete die of cancer or a heart attack. Death knows no limits.

...Cheers!

I remember someone saying once that the source of all cancer was..... white lab rats.

Diet Coke (at least in the US) didn't use saccharine (Coke's TAB did)...I think DC used aspartame.

I have ALOT of personal experience in this field as it is partialy what I do for a living. test cell phones for radiation levels and there effect on the human body.

I can tell you this. There is a risk. It is not that big of a risk as the gov't has strict guidelines and limits that are STRICTLY enforced.

the other two articles at the end of the page are interesting as well.

with the amount and types of crap we eat, drink and breathe, we all gon' die.
which is convenient, 'cause we all gon' die anyways...

that said, GET TESTED if you are at risk. we've lost some brothers this year, and i'm still a little freaked.

Well it's pretty much proven.

People who use cellphones more get cancer more. Thats a fact. The theory is that it's the actual cellphone doing it.

You know, they did a study once. They found out that ten out of ten people end up dying.
