Another blow weakens EMF-cancer link
This article describes recent developments in the strongest evidence linking electromagnetic field exposure to cancers. Work suggesting that low-level EMF exposure can dramatically affect the workings of the Myc gene, an oncogene implicated in a host of human cancers, has been called into doubt. Two elaborate attempts to relicate the findings (Saffer and Thurston; Hasketh) have failed completely although the orginal researcher says they have still failed to replicate her protocaol in the original experiment exactly. She and her co-researcher (Goodman and Henderson) continue to report positive links between EMF and Myc RNA increases.
