RFID Implants Cause Cancer?

Okay, this may be another sign of my RFID paranoia, but this article claims that new studies show implanted RFID microchips can cause cancer in a statistically significant portion of the animal population on which they were tried.

As the AP will report, a series of research articles spanning more than a decade found that mice and rats injected with glass-encapsulated RFID transponders developed malignant, fast-growing, lethal cancers in up to 1% to 10% of cases. The tumors originated in the tissue surrounding the microchips and often grew to completely surround the devices, the researchers said.

So, maybe it is time to slow down the RFID train a bit, even if you are not a religious nut like me who fears the Mark of the Beast?
