Mobiles 'make you senile'

Professor Leif Salford, who headed the research at Sweden’s prestigious Lund University, says “the voluntary exposure of the brain to microwaves from hand-held mobile phones” is “the largest human biological experiment ever”. And he is concerned that, as new wireless technology spreads, people may “drown in a sea of microwaves”. — Geoffrey LeanMobiles ‘make you senile’ (The Independent)

Is the mobile phone industry going to affect our lives and health like the tobacco cartel has for decades? According to this story, “the US mobile phone industry has succeeded in cutting research into the health effects”. Because, after all, who would want to ruin their business due to the publication of a study that says their product can kill you?

And just in case you were thinking of Samuel D. Forrester (of a recent virology hoax), Google yields many references to Leif Salford.
