Sanjay Gupta must be smart - for one thing he's doctor, a brain surgeon, in fact. He's also an adviser to Hillary Clinton. And above all, he's on TV! That's why his ignorance about basic physics, along with his eagerness to spread that ignorance, is so troubling. In this video, Dr. Gupta makes a meager attempt to describe a truly carcinogenic type of radiation known as ionizing radiation , which includes x-rays, gamma rays and other high energy types of radiation. But then he goes about speculating on the dangers of non-ionizing radiation of the type emitted by cell phones. It's guilt by association, and it's just plain wrong.
