.......Response from EMF-L......

(Based on my knowledge of the Atwater and Synar cases -- it has long 
been my belief/assumption that it is the "heavy users" who experience 
the cancer.  Probably on the order of 3 to 4 hours per day or more --
and for some period of time ... as in a political campaign of 
six months or so.  Later, when Mike (Synar) was working as a lobbyist 
for the wireless industry, I don't know of his use habits.  But I 
understand that he was given "free" use of his official phone on that 
job -- the last one he ever held......guru......)

So, are there then ANY epidemiological studies that demonstrate a connection
between cell phone use and cancer?  Widespread cell phone use in the U.S. has
been occuring for over ten years.
