Last week in the Australia media, Rodney Croft, from the Australian Centre for Radiofrequency Bioeffects Research (ACRBR) claimed that the just released Interphone study on mobile phone use and cancer “found no evidence that mobile phones cause cancer”. He further mentioned that “if a link existed then the study should have revealed it”. I’m surprised

And
