    #1183: The spinning of the brain tumour-cell phone story

    From Louis Slesin, Microwave News:

    Pity those who are trying to follow the cell phone ­brain
    tumor story. Their sense of the cancer risk is most likely
    a reflection of the last thing they read or saw on TV.
    It all depends on whose sound bite they happen to catch.

    And one big problem is that there is a lot of spinning
    going on. Both sides are doing it — from the Journal
    of the National Cancer Institute to the postings by
    activists on the Internet.

    As we continue to wait for Interphone, one
    age-old piece of advice comes to mind:
    Caveat Lector!
