    I'm surprised the OP hasn't called anyone 'sheeple' or told us to go back to sleep yet.

    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!

    What's a cellphone?

    Some kind of 1980s communication device Americans keep going on about.

    Another reason for me not to get a phone.
    That and avoiding people calling when they feel like a chat.

    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?

    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 :(

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

    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.

    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.
