Maria Feychting from the ICNIRP said to the Swedish major morning newspaper about prof' Hardell's study: "Several studies have been published with long-term users, but so far, no other have observed an increased risk".
"Det har publicerats flera studier med långtidsanvändare, men det är ingen annan som ser en ökad risk, säger Maria Feychting, professor i epidemiologi vid Karolinska Institutet. " http://www.dn.se/DNet/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=145&a=533742&rss=1399
But she herself found in her own study: "our data suggest an increased risk of acoustic neuroma associated with mobile phone use of at least 10 years' duration" Lonn S, Ahlbom A, Hall P, Feychting M.

The study by Hardell that was discussed in the newspaper was about mobile phone use and risk of malignant brain tumors. Therefore, my comment in the newspaper referred to studies on malignant brain tumors, not acoustic neuroma which is a benign tumor. Acoustic neuroma was not at all discussed in the news article.
Sincerely,
Maria Feychting

...but it's still BY FAR not the only one showing a risk for malignant brain tumors for long term cellphone use - So what... It's still a lie.
Could you ask her to comment this graph? It's from the ECOLOG-Institute, Dr. Neitzke.

Comparing analog & digital cordless
The analogue phone category in the latest Hardell et at research is actually looking at older analogue mobile phones (as opposed to more modern digital systems such as GSM). In actual fact their was no differentation between analogue and digital in the cordless phones section, it is likely that analogue cordless phones were included in this category, _not_ the analogue phones category.
From feedback we have received and our technical assessment of example products, we as an organisation believe analogue cordless phones do seem to be far less bioactive than digital cordless phones.
