French Health Ministry warns against excessive mobile phone use, especially by children

mobile phone dangerousJust when we’ve posted about finger massager selling in Japan, we got a news French Health Ministry has issued a warning against excessive mobile phone use, especially by children. According to the ministry, it is recommended to use a mobile phone in moderation, “with good judgment, avoid calling when reception is poor, or during high-speed travel, and finally, keep the telephone away from sensitive areas of the body by using a hands-free kit.” Health Minister Roselyne Bachelot-Narquin even added that while mobile phones given to children could be useful safety items, parents should be cautious about frequent use.

I’m not sure whether French parents and children dig this, but I’ll keep my phone with me all the time. Screw the moderation. :)
