More: brain and EM radiation (mobile 'phone rad.)

[Bernard Cleyet <anngeorg@PACBELL.NET>]

VICTORIA FLETCHER, BBC - In ground-breaking research on the effects of
radiation on the brain - which has for the first time used human cells
rather than rats - scientists found that even low-level emissions from
handsets affects cells. They believe the changes could disable a safety
barrier in the body which is meant to protect the brain from harmful
substances in the blood. The scientists are now calling for further
research to discover how important the effects on health might be. The
study, conducted by the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in
Finland, found that exposing human cells to one hour of mobile phone
radiation triggered a response which normally only occurs when cells are
being damaged. This led the cells which make up blood vessel walls to
shrink, allowing tiny molecules to pass through into brain tissue.
