This is your brain on cell phones
I do things I know are not good for me. Like for example yesterday, for lunch I had potato chips and sour cream. This is not part of a balanced diet. I skip exercise and go without flossing.
So now we have cell phones. Our newest treat and tantalizing temptress. Beside looking silly while we wander up and down grocery isles talking to a tiny piece of electronic equipment (need I mention how goofy people look talking to the air with a Blue Tooth thing on their head??!), the things are going to land us with so many more diseases and ailments. In ten years we’ll be scratching our heads and saying: Gee, I wonder what caused all this brain cancer? Does diabetes and sugar consumption ring a bell? Television and lack of exercise?
If you haven’t seen this video, you perhaps will understand like I did, that these little “jabber-walkies” are more powerful than we ever suspected. I’ve been reading about the tumor causing little beasts for years. I still have cell phone, though I’m considering getting a lead case for it. Watch this video and put two and two together. I was amazed. Plus I swore I’d never have left-over melted chocolate and a glass of milk for dinner again.
**Only residents are allowed to apply for a cellular phone line in Costa Rica. But do not worry, old lines are bought and sold under the table all the time until your proper cedula is in hand.

Awhile back someone sent me the same Video and it looked so real that I didn’t question it. Since then I try to Snope everything that comes my way before I send it out and someone calls me on it. Like rummors it’s human nature to believe what we see.. There is an old saying…
Believe nothing what you hear and only half of what you see…

True. But it still makes a good point. Sort of like sci-fi makes a point of what perhaps we should think a little bit about in the future.

Plus, if you’re checking this out—-MotherJungle is changing servers, etc. etc. I won’t be posting for a few due to techinical instructions by people a lot smarter than me.

Seriously, I think cell phones are super dangerous. I feel guilty if I call people on them and make excuses to hang up after I relay whatever message couldn’t wait. I hate when my husband puts it in a pocket of his shorts. My husband jokes in 10 years I can say I told ya so about cell phones being dangerous. And those wireless headsets people are now using everywhere they go are pretty suspicious too. Is your brain being used as the antenna or what?

I always feel when I am talking on a cell phone like I am just about to get a soccer ball right in the face and I know it’s going to hurt.
