British Parlamentarian talks on his cell phone. Ongoing research suggests that cell phone usage can increase the likelihood of brain tumors.

A UC Berkeley analysis of eight rigorous scientific studies shows a connection between cell phone use and an increased risk of tumors. What findings did these studies have, and what makes them more credible than reports that claim no connection? What further research needs to be done? Larry Mantle discusses the report.
