A quick review of legitimate medical literature concludes no such link. For example... <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17692567?ordinalpos=6&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum" rel="nofollow">Review of effects of low level RF on human systems</a> Since anyone can write anything and put it up on the internet, Google is not a good place to find primary source information.

"Wow, I bet the Beauty Brains would have a field day with this bulls*@#!" Edited profanity aside, I had forgotten about this until now. I can't believe that a relatively large company can consistently makes outrageous claims of this nature, though I think this one may be the worst from Clarins that I've seen. I know they're often terrible with their pseudo-science, though.

The way science works is that you have to prove positive claims. It is impossible to prove negative claims such as cell phones & radiowaves don't have an effect. Similarly, you can't prove that water doesn't cause cancer. No one has specifically published anything that shows no effect on the epidermis but other things are investigated. Here is a study that concludes that <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/09/070912111310.htm" rel="nofollow">cell phones are not associated with any biological or adverse health effects</a>. Here's another story indicating <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/07/070726210108.htm" rel="nofollow">no link between cell phone towers and adverse health effects</a>. Again, this does not prove that they don't cause problems but where is the proof that they do? Where are the scientific studies?
