Mobile phones, cancer and Alzheimer's disease: the ultimate study is launched http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1272033824
More than 250,000 people in five different countries will take part in the research which is expected to last more than 30 years and cost millions of pounds.
Experts hope the investigation will help settle once and for all the ongoing debate about the safety of mobile phones. Dr Mireille Toledano, one of the principal investigators from the School of Public Health at Imperial College London, said: "This is the largest study to date worldwide on mobile phones and health and will be monitoring a large number of mobile phone users over a long time.
"It will be the gold standard."
Unlike earlier studies which relied on people who develop illnesses recalling their mobile phone usage, the study will pick up diseases and symptoms as they arise.
Between 90,000 and 100,000 people are expected to participate in the UK, with others joining from Finland, the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark.

30 years??? The 1200 or so people still left on the planet will find the results of this study quite edifying.
