Subject: Cell phones and DNA Damage

I don’t know how this relates to cancer fears and other concerns but
cellular phones seem to attract other agendas.

SCIENTIFIC MISCONDUCT:
Fraud Charges Cast Doubt on Claims of DNA Damage From Cell Phone Fields
Gretchen Vogel

The only two peer-reviewed scientific papers showing that
electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from cell phones can cause DNA breakage
are at the center of a misconduct controversy at the Medical
University of Vienna (MUV). Critics had argued that the data looked
too good to be real, and in May a university investigation agreed,
concluding that data in both studies had been fabricated and that the
papers should be retracted.
