Your Phone Or Cancer?

UCDCritic · 27-09-2014 8:38pm #1

Which do you prefer?

Could you live without your phone if you knew it would give you cancer?

Would you carry on using it despite the proof and take the risk?

How much does your phone mean to you?

According to the research and sources in this video there is Unequivocal proof mobile phones give you cancer

Have a nice day

So a quiet/peaceful life or cancer?

hmmmmmm........

paulmclaughlin · 27-09-2014 8:40pm

Is that really a question?

0byme75341jo28 · 27-09-2014 8:41pm

Ah yes, more links between cancer and some piece of technology. Never seen this before.

Honestly, these just have to be a load of shít.

You have Daddy issues, I can tell.

Arguing with me just reinforces the fact that I'm right

"Unequivocal" yeah? You forgot the old air quotes there "OP"

Duff · 27-09-2014 9:26pm

Would you rather keep your phone or get fcuking cancer?!

What a time to be alive!

In fairness pretty much everything is cancer causing. BBQ food gives you carcinogens which are cancer causing. Carcinogens are also found in baby shampoo, smoking, xrays, dry cleaned clothes, till receipts. Unless you want to be a cave man or Amish. You are going to come into contact with things that give you cancer

"Unequivocal proof mobile phones give you cancer"

Everyone I know uses a mobile phone, not everyone who uses mobile phones get cancer.
wonder why?

Assuming the phone thing is true, what's the stats?

and tbh, I wouldn't care. I'd use the phone. No interest in living forever.

Based on the evidence available, there is no link between microwave radiation from your phone and increased cancer risk. That has been proven internationally.

Having talked to a world-renowned expert in the field recently, she said we can only assess the risks that we currently know about, and none of those have been shown to cause cancer.

27-09-2014 10:35pm

Is your ability to read Facebook updates and make calls on the go more important than actually staying alive?
Hmmm. That would be a no.

You'd almost wonder how anyone's life had meaning before the advent of the cellphone. Almost.

or we could look at the real world evidence.

40 years of mobile phones, and on target for over 5 billion phones in daily use within the next two years and still no peer reviewed proof of any link to cancer.

Take into account the number of lives saved by calling 999 and even if they did lead to low instances of cancer you'd still be safer using one.

Most dangerous things about phones are germs , batteries catching fire and if you are a Palestinian , Israel missiles homing in on your phone signal.

If mobile phones gave you cancer (in the unequivocal way expressed by the OP), why doesn't everyone who uses a mobile phone get cancer?

Not so many years ago we didn't have phones
not to mind mobile phones.
We didn't have any communication except for the
weekly paper.
In them days they said ESB pylons gave you cancer.
They also claimed that electricity in the house was a magnetic field
that would effect your health.
We're still living longer.
Cancer maybe, but better quality of life?
I'd go for the phone, any day.

The kind of radiation that can give you cancer is the high-energy kind that damages cells on the way through them, gamma rays, X-rays etc.

The kind of radiation that comes out of mobile phones is radio waves.

Can we please put this one to bed?

All that smoke "simple" cultures use in their cooking might risk cancer too.

Smoke is actually a big risk yet people get all nostalgic about open fires and smoked meats.

That and avoiding people calling when they feel like a chat.

OP...surely its all or nothing...if i have a phone i get cancer (according to you)....no phone no cancer....so your thread title (& choice) is flawed...its not phone or cancer.....

Maybe all the fluoride in the water reacted with your tinfoil hat & messed up your mind!

If I get rid of my phone am I guaranteed not to get cancer?

Interacting with other humans is definitely a negative of having a mobile phone.

If mobile phones cause cancer does that mean diluting mobile phones cures it?

FanadMan · 30-09-2014 3:50am

If my mum had been told about this I'm sure she'd have thrown her mobile away but seeing as cancer got to her first, cancer won

You know what causes cancer? Life.

Live long enough, you'll get cancer. Less people died of cancer before modern technology came about not because there was no modern technology, but because they bloody well didn't live long enough for that to be the thing that killed them in the end

Yep. As we get older and healthcare improves, the mortality rates for the two major non-communicable diseases (heart disease and cancer) will inevitably increase.

muddypaws · 30-09-2014 11:43am

My Dad died of a brain tumour in June. Yes, he used a mobile phone, but not very much, he was in his mid 70s, so it wasn't as big a part of his life as it is to younger people. He was deaf in his right ear, so always held the phone to his left ear, or put it on speaker. His tumour was on the right side of the brain, so I'm guessing it wasn't caused by a mobile phone. Due to his condition I have come to know a lot of people affected by brain tumours, two 6 year old boys have died this year that I know of, neither were prolific mobile phone users. So, being so closely associated with people with cancer of the brain, would I stop using mobile phones in case I got cancer? No because brain tumours aren't lifestyle tumours.
