Re: Your Phone Is Deadlier Than Pacific Sushi
#2If humans were truly in danger from eating 'contaminated' fish, then we would have all died when we started to introduce coal smoke into our atmosphere (contains Caesium 137 and most plants emit more radiation per year than a nuclear plant does in its lifetime) and when the Crab Nebula decided to show its pretty colours (gamma and x-ray radiation) in the daytime centuries ago.

#3A slightly less wrong (but still wrong) title would be "Sunlight is deadlier than pacific sushi".
First, this article doesn't even mention cell phone radiation. Second, your cell phone isn't deadlier than pacific sushi. Damage to DNA caused by EM radiation is more a function of frequency than intensity. A small amount of X-Ray radiation is far more damaging than sitting in front of an infrared lamp getting toasty warm all day. Sunlight is far likelier to give you cancer than cell-phone emissions. Eating a banana, or Pacific sushi, is extraordinarily unlikely to give you cancer, but it does increase the odds more than using your cell-phone will.

#4Ah. I'd say don't that this fud could be allowed to run its course for a little while. The tuna could use some time to recover.

Now there's an interesting thought. Environmental-disaster/health-scare hoaxes, to give certain targeted wild ecosystems a chance to heal. If the environmental movement ever gets a covert operations agency, maybe that's what we'll see. (Or are already seeing?)

#6Unless you count the mercury.

It's not working very well, if that's the case.
Maybe a new strategy is in order? They could spread documents that reveal that tuna has been involved in all major internet trolling incidents between 2010 and 2013.

#8> If lowering the cumulative exposure to radiation is the goal, there's probably more to be gained by not walking around with a mobile phone glued to your ear than skipping a meal of tuna.
Thats the only reference they make to phones in the whole article, i really wonder who picks those headlines ?
Besides, the Banana theory is total nonsense. Our body needs the potassium found in bananas to work. The electrical signals that power your heart are only possible because of potassium and calcium. If your potassium is too low/high, your heart can get arrhythmias, you might even die. Nothing to worry about though, as the body manages a constant postassium level in the blood, but still, without foods containing it we couldnt survive.

#9I think I got something more harmful than radiation after reading this article.

Also it is important to remember that nuclear radiation (ionizing radiation) is what people normally think of as "radioactive". Cell phones emit non-ionizing radiation, which we mostly experience as heat or light -- not what we would call "radioactive".
