Cell phones cause cancer in rats (again) (but probably not)

Headlines all over the place today: "Study finds cell phones cause cancer in lab rats!"

Here's the study: PDF of study!

There's some stuff that the attention-grabbing articles aren't pointing out.
  • This hasn't been peer reviewed.
  • The full data isn't available.
  • The "increased" cancer rate is more like a normal cancer rate.
  • The control group had a higher mortality.
  • There's an odd gender imbalance.
This doesn't look like anything to get excited about, but now you can read the study and be prepared in case everyone starts posting it on Facebook and freaking out.
