Ever since cell phones became a must-have and even indispensable tool, there have been many solutions that tout to neutralize radiation emitted while you're talking, reducing the possibility of getting brain cancer (or having your grey matter ooze right out from your ears). The E-Waves phone chip is the latest of such solutions, having been developed by Belgian health product company Omega Pharma. Apparently, this chip will block electromagnetic radiation emitted by cell devices, in particular those that fall within the range of 3 MHz and 10 GHz. The first 30,000 of such chips will retail for €38.95 a pop and will be sold as an over-the-counter healthcare product. Do you buy their story, or think that there are bigger problems to worry about apart from radiation?
