Agreed. While their thinking behind the cell service is likely the distance factor of offender from scene, there are a host of technologies involving radio frequencies that could be used. Hell, a home automation switch-flipper that you have within distance of WiFi coverage, and the offender could be in China before activating it in England or the USA. The other thing is, if the cell service towers go down, that doesn't prevent rogue transmitters, so a frequency jammer would be needed, of sufficient power to get past whatever transmitters are in use in the area they're interested in. Once the detonation happens, you think locking down cell service is going to prevent another one? Why would the offender ever need to space out the execution by more than 3 seconds? You're only harming potential emergency calls from people who need help.

Sorry DoSH, you missed too many details for this to be viable. Also, get off your police state rhetoric.

Read the abstract of the actual study. The abstract results summarize that the telomere length issue was not correlated with non-carbonated sugar-sweetened beverages, or carbonated non-sugar-sweetened beverages. It's only when both traits are present that this happens.

Sadly there are no more detailed results to look at HFCS or Sucrose. My guess is the study used HFCS pops, but bear in mind that numerous juice brands use HFCS as a sweetening additive, which would count here as a non-carbonated sugar-sweetened beverage. The next question is what's the interaction that causes this from these two traits?
