When radioactive products were new to us, people made many mistakes. Watches with glowing radium markers on them were created by people who manually painted tiny amounts of radioactive radium on them in a factory. The painters would “tip” their brushes by touching the brush to their lips. Then, when they realized monsterous deforming cancerous tumors on their lips were due to radium - they changed how they manufactured watches. Medical xray equipment now use a fraction of the power originally used to reduce cancer risk. State of the art medical studies have documented health hazards posed by radiation. Skin cancer from the sun? Now we use sunblock as needed. We can make changes to protect our health. Why not investigate this issue objectively instead of hooting like howler monkeys that it’s all Kalifornia etc.? There’s a peculiar amount of desperate “shout down” every time this issue comes up.

I think it may come out later that certain models for reasons besides being cell phones increase cancer risk (radioactive batch of plastic cases?), but as a general rule I would think your cell phone is more likely to cause deafness than cancer.

Because it’s been investigated multiple times and has been found to be 100% pure HOKUM. It’s a lie, there is no link between electromagnetics and cancer. PERIOD. There is no link between cellphones and cancer. PERIOD. There’s no shout down, it’s people being tired of a story that was stupid 20 years coming back for no good reason. All the stories are LIES, and all who perpetuate them are LIARS.
