And he claims that blue tooth is the worst of all as the actual frequency that bluetooth uses is particularly damaging to human tissue.  There are devices on the market that absorb most of the radiation or the plastic tube headset which definitely stops the radiation from reaching the head.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ken]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 4th 2006 5:50AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cellphones are dangerous/not dangerous, the lost episode]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/03/cellphones-are-dangerous-not-dangerous-the-lost-episode/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/03/cellphones-are-dangerous-not-dangerous-the-lost-episode/</guid><description><![CDATA["Are newer cellphones safer than older cellphones, or vice versa?"<br><br>I recall that one of the Swedish studies concluded that the older, analog phones provided the most significant increase in risk and that much use of these phones was required to bump up the risk.<br><br>Aren't there a slew of devices that emit electromagnetic radiation near the head or body?
