I’ve long considered these scientific studies to be on the level of Global Warming:
One study says that the phones cause cancer.
Immediately, 3 or 4 studies are rushed out to prove that phones do not cause cancer.
Wait 5 years.
A new study says that the phones cause cancer.
Immediately, 3 or 4 studies are rushed out to prove that phones do not cause cancer.
This cycle has been going on for 25 years or so.
I’m guessing that the phones cause cancer.

“I’m guessing that the phones cause cancer.”
Lots of people guess about a lot of things. The data doesn’t support that conclusion at this point.
You shouldn’t treat a cell phone as harmless, but you should not forego wireless technology completely and expect to avoid cancer and achieve better health.
So what do you do? If you use earphones, you’ll dramatically lower your RF exposure. If you have a big concern, do that.
Not according to independent epidemiological studies over the time that cellphones or even wireless home phones have been in use. There has been no significant increase in gliomas or brain cancers during the period that cellular or wireless phones have been in use. If they did cause cancer it would show up in an overall increase in the incidences of such tumors. There has been no noticeable increase in the rate of such cancers over the rate that was present before the introduction of phone using the technology.
Even this study has some serious problems because only male rats developed gliomas, while the female rats exposed to the same radiation levels did not. That implies there is some other unknown causation at the core of the tumors not related to the radiation. Also the fact that the controls did not develop any tumors at all in a variety of rat bred for a predilection for such tumors is cause for concern. The level of exposure at nine hours per day at high levels of radiation is far beyond any reasonable real world exposure. Also the distances and blocking provided by a human brain and skull are completely different than those provided by a rat brain and skull. i.e. Rats are not complete human analogs for such exposures.
