Have you had your daily dose of radiation today?

The hubby and I are searching for new cell phones. One of the things we take most seriously (after cost) is the SAR rating. It stands for Specific Absorption Rate of the radio frequency (radiation) given off by your cell phone. You did know that your cell phone gives off radiation, right? To minimize the radiation don't wear your cell phone, if you do, make sure it's in a case. Try using a headset instead of holding the phone to your ear. And when it's time, refer back to this list when you are in the market for a new cell phone. The research isn't conclusive, but why radiate your body any more than necessary? Here is one link to help you out:
