Disconnect by Dr. Devra Davis

We, my husband and I, don't have a mobile phone when we are in US and Australia, but we do have 1-2 mobile phones when we were in Taiwan. I like the life without mobile phone because we have more free time for ourselves and it reduces the risk of getting many diseases. I think mobile phones and its cell towers should be banned or charged higher health tax as what they do with tobacco.

Disconnect by Dr. Devra Lee Davis
The Truth About Cell Phone Radiation, What the Industry Has Done to Hide It, and How to Protect Your Family.

The much-anticipated, explosive exposé of how cell phone use damages brain cells, especially in children, by one of the world’s foremost scientific experts in the field.

Cell phone radiation is a national emergency. Stunningly, the most popular gadget of our age has been shown to damage DNA, break down the brain’s defenses, and reduce sperm count while increasing memory loss and the risks of Alzheimer’s disease and even cancer. And half the world’s four billion cell phones are used by people under twenty.

Now, Devra Davis, the founding director of the Board on Toxicology and Environmental Studies at the United States National Academy of Sciences, takes readers through the dark side of this trillion-dollar industry. She pulls back the curtain on the potential dangers, reveals the industry’s efforts to suppress research, and outlines what cell phone users can do now to protect themselves and their families.
