This column should be in two parts. In this piece, I can only share what questions we need to ask about the health effects of mobile phones. It will take another piece that will run years from now to give you the answers. As it stands today — and let this be the executive summary for those reading this on their phones — we do not have enough years of data to tell whether mobile phones are hazardous to our health. But I would advise you look up before you walk into that glass door in front of you.

This Vikram Sheel Kumar, M.D., deserves an award! He has finally and decisively vindicated those of us who postponed purchasing mobile devices for years, opting instead to rely on New York City's filthy public phones. To the publishers of Forbes, I extend my gratitude for printing this piece, and to Dr. Kumar, a big hug, away from all emitting devices!
