Junk Science: Cellphone Safety Debate

Seems that on a regular basis I am reading in the newspaper about various cities debating about cell phone towers and the supposed threat of cell phones to human health. There's no need to keep going through this again and again no matter how many people believe it. It's junk science. It's just not possible for a cell phone to damage people's health or cause cancer. There has never been a documented case of a single victim.

This clip is from "Bullshit!" which debunks myths of this type that persist because of constant repetition by stupid people. Please check out the Sceptics 5x5 podcasts on iTunes for more simple explanations about other things stupid people believe. Get your critical thinking caps on all you stupid city leaders!
