I guess I'm sort of qualified to talk about the cell phone radiation thing... since my father has owned a cell phone company for almost 20 years.

My Dad talks on a cell phone probably more than most of the people on this board combined... lol

He can go through 8,000 minutes a month on a busy month, on TWO phones. (One business, one personal.) So a total of 16,000 minutes a month. (I'm guessing it's around 10,000 minutes a month total on regular months. 5 hours a day is about right.)

You rarely see him without a phone attached to his head. He almost always uses the cell phones since he isn't at the office or house a whole lot.

So on average he likely has spent 108,000 minutes on cell phones in 1 year.

He's been doing that for the last 19 years. That is 2,052,000 minutes. (Good thing I have a calculator, math is my worst subject...)

My Dad is the healthiest family member.

I have MS, my mother has a laundry list of issues and my brother isn't healthy either. My Mom is the worst of us and she doesn't even use 50 minutes a month on her cell phone.

So..... I think that pretty much gives my opinion on the subject. As well as making me realize my father would likely die without his cell phone. Geez!
