    There is no scientific documented evidence that mobile phones 'cause' cancer . . there is some concern that it may trigger a benign type of tumor called an Acoustic Neuroma, but that is not cancer. Evidence is not conclusive.

    You can find dozens of European studies done for the past twenty years (whenever cell phones first became available) online:

    ACS: Cellular Phones
    http://www.cancer.org/docroot/ped/content/ped_1_3x_cellular_phones.asp

    NCI: Cell Phones and Cancer Risk
    http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk/cellphones

    Go to PubMed to find research on the topic . . type in cell phones cancer or something similar to get about 290 articles about cell phone studies. Seems like they are trying very hard to establish some type of link but no evidence exists despite years of study.

    Ofcourse. It gives off harmful radiation. Also phone towers do, microwaves. Most electronic things. You must not be educated enough to know this... But its worth knowing. Now some people will never get it if there on there phones 24 hours a day.. But it CAN happen.. Do further research if you dont believe me??

    ummm I think like in guys it does, when the phones are in their pockets, something like that. I can't remember exactly. but I have also heard that if you are talking on your phone while it's plugged into the charger it can cause cancer. But so much of this stuff is ridiculous anyways and in 10 years they will realize they were wrong and decide something else new and stupid like wearing pants backwards causes cancer in your spine because the zipper is so close to your backside.
