Dr. Nancy Discusses Brain Cancer and Mobile Phones

" At 741 with the long debated questioned this cell phones cause brain cancer that Sunday's New York Times magazine dignity years of research and studies. In search of an answer the writer doctors that are there -- you appear to reveal his findings he's also the author of the book the emperor of maladies. And he's chief medical editor doctor Nancy snyderman here as well good morning here at and I are you -- can't. Your your article it has laid to rest the ongoing debate as to whether cell phones -- if you look at old. Studies have been done reexamine them as well as the new study that you -- it he couldn't in the future what -- found so far do you think. Definitively connection between cell -- in Britain."

" Amend that two major definitive studies still pending. But as -- now the evidence that that moderates -- news has any link to brain cancers."

" Very weak very Ugly Betty we eat you don't that mention of a recent study looked at the people that. Where -- brain showed increased brain glucose activity. And neatly next already and can -- the rest of their -- what is that."

" Let the brain uses glucose askew and so -- to win tough when users weren't exposed to that when -- that did some parts of the brain. You started the tantalizingly using more of your closest you'll what. Indications we don't know -- it turns out it would be beneath the newspaper. Brain glucose activity goes up and surely don't think that meeting and newspaper causes cancer when you see them your brain -- that it goes up so the activity shows that there is some activity registering in the brain on a -- the links to cancer very."

" Yes it -- hot examples that the conventional wisdom -- Buchanan can connect your head here for you let -- bringing in some kind of harmful rays and you're gonna cook your brain get it humor. But it's gonna look kind -- conventional wisdom does not mean that a fine. And the science over and over and over again has not shown a link up -- record to another state where. Cellphone users asked how often they use the phone and they grossly underestimated to overestimated the amount of time to does that make that study totally reliable."

" Well and studies like -- can -- to rely on memory a typically very tough to interpret an angle to this in in my book and in more detail but you'll wind actually very ES software device that would measure the actual amount of time that -- edit that users using it turns out that was why discrepancies. These are people who reported some people under reported to study that that very tough to talk to interpret."

" There's also -- distinction between the different. Kind of radiation anti and I think in the on line I think they'll ultimate non and I think radiation right at -- radiation that we -- may argue with the kind that we get from England are too -- X -- is no war. I had radiation from Kotnik rate that that Nona and I -- walking by your microwave. A lightbulb. A cell phone no evidence that that harms you wouldn't product has been out for a long period time reminder that we get radiation from everywhere ray got in the soil. The sunshine still we're bombarded with little bit. But at the little bit over time that they don't seem to be that concerned he's black -- The radiation that's why Japan -- so many people so much concern but I think we have to at least for now until they include content. The cell phone thing interpret what this study that you're gonna be like looking --"

" Well one study it's on the national toxicology institute here and that is an animal study which -- an analyst to a very long period of -- radiation of the kind that's. Emitted by cell phones and the second studies from New York which takes 250000. Users and all of them forward in times -- there's no biased a memory. To those of the state that."

" The answer by the time we no longer used felt I mean let me guess you're not I don't know I don't like look at them and you know actually that even the all the studies the debate will continue retailer. Is a debate that -- Don't cart -- hit them and you know -- we got to fight that but you can say we put that went to bed so we should back in the not to mistake. Wow great science diet we've answered it not -- that science. And apply that same rigorous and cherry island states can't do that -- into bad. When we can say that and then got an excellent and 1000 ago. For people who haven't read that book. One of the great book that this past it gives them mounties -- wonderful and mark -- if you're interested in cancer that that the book to read. And limit on the road that you. I I got it and Gregory thank you -- and let."
