They had the same age, gender, ethnicity, medical profiles and lifestyles, the only difference was the ability to swim. From those who could swim, 12% died of cancer in the following 10 years. From the other group, 0%. This difference proves, that knowing to swim causes cancer. | |

Naming companies in such an answer is not desirable

| Jul 20, 2012 at 15:49 | comment | added | Mark Beadles | This is not responsive to the question, which is "Is there a physics model that would suggest a mechanism...that could lead to cancer". | |
| Jul 30, 2011 at 17:58 | comment | added | Columbia | I have issues with this response and this paper. The nonthermal mechanism bit is barely plausible. And it strikes of homeopathy, where increasing rates leads to no observable response. | |
| Jul 29, 2011 at 18:52 | comment | added | user4552 | This is a nice example of how junk science gets published in otherwise reputable peer-reviewed journals. There is no plausible mechanism. Animal studies do not show an effect. Human studies that get non-null results don't show a dose-response. | |

| Jul 14, 2011 at 9:50 | comment | added | Georg | ""I agree with mbq that the effect is likely due to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) that interferes with bioelectrical processes through non-thermal mechanisms."" What is Your profession? Medicine? Physics? Statistics? Did You ever read textbook stuff on electrochemistry with respect to higher frequencies? | |
