Cell Phones are proven to cause cancer!

...or not.

According to CNN, the WHO (World Health Organization) has declared that cell phones are now just as cancer causing as lead, car exhaust, and chloroform. It's so bad for you that it's similar to smoking cigarettes, breaking off asbestos in front of your face, and drinking leaded gasoline! The evidence that the WHO had brought forth in the study that cell phones cause cancer is... nothing. They have zero proof and only "theories."

So we all know how Microwaves work, right? That's how cell phones operate with cell towers (if you still are one of those people that believe cell phones work off satellites, please at least learn about the technology you use), except on a much smaller scale and a lot less power. Honestly, the only way I would think you would get cancer is if you climbed a cell tower and camped out for about a week. You then might have cancer some time down the line. As for the average cell phone user (when I mean average, I'm talking about 5-10 calls a day), I seriously doubt their cell phones will EVER cause cancer. My BB Bold is about 5.4 Watts/hour... or in other words I get more microwaves sent at me standing in front of my Microwave for less than one second than I would get from my BB in one hour of talking on it.

What do you all think? Do you think cell phones are causing people cancer? Or do you think that just because there is no proof that cell phones cause cancer that it really doesn't?

nstgc:
Microwave radiation is non-ionizing. How could it cause cancer. Maybe it could casue other health problems (it could heat up the brain and kill brain cells...I'd believe that) but cancer? No.

Boring stuff for the bored.

I would worry about having a cellphone in conversation for 30 mins at my head. Having one at 30 mins convo at my crotch might be a little scarier.
