    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

    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

    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.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    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.

    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.

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