Heard this before 2, or when the cell phones first emerged, or it was big then now its making a comeback? hmm but yeah always knew there would be a possibility or consequences of people talking too much on the phone.. Also read that you shouldnt leave your phones next to your bed while you are sleeping and using the cell phone where the signal is weak because it emits more radiation. But they said its usually evident over a 10 year period...or you start seeing the early signs...LONG-term mobile phone users could face a higher risk of developing cancer in later life, according to a decade-long study.
The report, to be published later this year, has reportedly found that heavy mobile use is linked to brain tumours.
The survey of 12,800 people in 13 countries has been overseen by the World Health Organisation.
Preliminary results of the inquiry, which is looking at whether mobile phone exposure is linked to three types of brain tumour and a tumour of the salivary gland, have been sent to a scientific journal.
The findings are expected to put pressure on the British Government – which has insisted that mobile phones are safe – to issue stronger warnings to users.
Yeah I remember all the talk about mobiles and brain cells etc.. meh, not exactly anything you can do about it.
correlation =/= causation
I try to use my cell as little as possible.
But that's more about minutes, batteries and not looking like a douche than tumors.

So smoking gives me cancer
My phone's giving me cancer
Going outside can give me cancer
Fuck it.

IIRC from ye olde physics class, the radiation emitted from cell phones can't ionize for shit, so causing tumours was slim. Let me see if I can find a source...

I'll make a judgement when I see the study.

Nothing new. Don't talk that often on my cellphone and not for long times.
