[LINK] EMF Health problems

[Geoffrey Ramadan]

After reading some articles it is clearly there is an ongoing debate 
about the effect of EMF and health.

It has also reaffirms my view on this subject.

Though there is most likely some link between EMF and health (at low 
levels like mobile phones and power lines), however, this link is very 
week.

It is clear that a strong causational link cannot be established, given 
the number experiments that have been done and ongoing arguments.

Remarkably, there are more stronger causational links between other 
things and health than this, that we should be more worried about. eg. 
Driving, smoking, diet, pollution, sun (skin cancer), drugs (legal and 
illegal), alcohol, violence, suicide, accidents, flu, etc.
(check out http://www.benbest.com/lifeext/causes.html or a break down of 
the cause of death).

I am not suggesting that we ignore or don't continual research, but to 
put things in perspective.
