Here is the paper: http://www.wjso.com/content/4/1/74#IDAVA2NH

In a shitty journal (World Journal of Surgical Oncology) which exists only online, doesn't list its impact factor anywhere, charges $1800 to "publish" articles (http://www.wjso.com/info/faq/?question=openaccess) , and thinks being listed on Google Scholar is somehow brag-worthy (http://www.wjso.com/info/faq/?question=indexed).

They "measured" the radiation dosages to the subjects via phone interview (lol), and while there is a substantial amount of statistics mumbo-jumbo, I don't see where they listed the sample size anywhere (NM, You might be able to figure it out after a few minutes with a calculator and Table 1). What the fuck?


TL;DR this is total bullshit from a bunch of kooks who are scaring the ignorant into thinking a watt of nonionizing radiation is going to OMG cause cancer.

These fools should be ashamed of themselves. This pseduoscientific nonsense isn't always a victimless crime. A girl in India recently committed suicide because she thought the LHC would destroy the world. Every time I get a dumb ass chain letter or see yet another article by a gullible journalist about things like this I want to fucking scream. O_o
