Anniston, AL - It's a call to alarm for cell phone users everywhere. A new report from the head of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute links cell phone usage and cancer. But an Alabama cancer specialist calls this report very premature.
Dr. Ellen Sapremulli, a medical oncologist at Regional Medical Center in Anniston, tells ABC 33/40 three reasons she considers the new warning "poor." First, the report is unpublished which means it's not been peer reviewed by other doctors. Second, there are several studies that have been published that say cell phones won't cause cancer. Finally, the Food and Drug Administration has not issued a warning.
There are those who say better safe than sorry. They say why not slip on an earpiece and keep your kids off the cell? If nothing else, it offers piece of mind.
However, the cell phone has become such a big part of every day life, some users can't imagine cutting back. One of those users is Betty Wilson, who says "I don't think so because I've been using it every since they came out so I don't think so and I have no problem with it."
Is it time to replace that drafty, leaky roof? Ask The Experts!
