That electromagnetic radiation hazard. Why isn't this on Art Bell - Coast to Coast? I'm sure this is a unique threat that eclipes radiation from computer monitors, TVs, and power tools

"fanatic" is what the lazy call the dedicated

I wouldn't worry too much... a search for the exact phrase "Liburdy and Colleagues Study" on Google brings up the exact same article on several different sites, but no information about Liburdy or the study cited.

A search for "Liburdy", however, brings up this article entitled "ORI to study why cheaters cheat" on nature.com:

http://www.nature.com/nm/journal/v6/...0900_946a.html

It appears that Liburdy lost his job of 15 years for falsifying facts in his study and report of EMF and cancer.

I have no plans to trade-in my Insight.

"fanatic" is what the lazy call the dedicated

This same thing has been brought up time & time again on the insightcentral forums.

The quickest way to shut up the people that were saying we're all going to die is to show them the article that had EMF readings on the inside of the Honda Odyessy that were higher than those in the insight

"Speed doesn't have anything to do with mileage. My truck has an overdrive gear for a reason." - Credited to an unnamed Freeper reguarding changing the speed limit back to 55MPH.

People always give me the same crap about cell phones. ::sigh:: I've been selling them for 11 years and I'm still above ground.

The "old" cell phones, circa 1984-1990, those HUGE ones that mounted in cars - they DID put out enough radiation to kill people.

My ex-wife's dad died from a brain tumor at age 41, on the left side of his head near his ear, where as a left hander he used to put his phone. He had one of those huge old car phones in his company truck for years and used it a LOT for his job.

There's no evidence for sure that the phone caused the tumor other than common sense and putting 2 and 2 together....

I'd say this is the only thing that matters here. The guy made up the whole story, was proven to have made it up, and was fired and his work discredited. That seems pretty conclusive. Maybe try writing to the place that's hosting the article and let them know it's entirely falsified.

On the other hand, maybe we're going about this all wrong? Perhaps we need to jump on the bandwagon and make our own falsified studies? Perhaps next week I will claim to have a pH.D in environmental studies and have proven that vehicles made by UAW workers subject the user to acid rain exposure based on residual humidity in the vehicle being from Detroit or whatever? That should be every bit as credible as the Insight blasting it's occupants with radiation.

EMF?
I've also heard that taking a warm/hot shower increases your risk of cancer due to the Radon gas released in the water vs tub use.
If it's not one thing it's another.

Efficient drivers do it better.
1003 miles a tank personal record. 74MPG calculated. HCH1 CVT

I guess when it comes to our safety and the well being of our planet there seems to always be a down side.

Your ****ed if you do and ****ed if you dont

I have a friend who just bought a trifeild meter. I can check my car's levels and see if even the levels they claim are right
But, according to one of my friends, my biggest health risk is wearing a bra. Appearently that is going to give me cancer
