The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “”CDC”” is the first U.S. health agency to call for precaution in the use of cell phones.
(But not for long. As soon as word of the CDC”s new outlook spread, the precautionary advice was withdrawn. Our original story is below, followed by an August 20 addendum.)
“Along with many organizations worldwide, we recommend caution in cell phone use,” the CDC stated on its Web site”s FAQ About Cell Phones and Your Health and followed up with a call for more research to answer the unresolved cancer question.
The recommendation was posted on the CDC”s Web site on or before June 9. It passed mostly unnoticed until a few days ago when Joel Moskowitz, who writes a blog on Electromagnetic Radiation Safety, sent out a press release announcing the news.
