A relevant quote: A pooled analysis of data from Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom did not find relationships between the risk of acoustic neuroma and the duration of cellular telephone use, cumulative hours of use, or number of calls;
I think most people's reaction would be the same as Keith and Chemda's even if there were a link to cancer, but there is not. |
Especially since cell phones are relatively new in the grand scheme of things. Saying cell phones cause cancer is nothing more than a "Hey, this would make sense if.." standpoint. Like how everyone got all up in arms because someone thought that maybe cell phone towers could possibly be the cause of the decrease in bee populations. It's what happens when science meets journalism.
