Not saying it's true, but my father a couple years back got a cancerous tumor in his leg directly where he kept his cell phone in his left pocket, for around 25 years
I have a background in RF engineering. This is complete horse shit. Cell phones utilize non-ionizing radiation and cap out their power at a couple watts. Your lights are exposing you to more non-ionizing radiation (read: harmless).
The problem is that the effects can only be seen statistically. Individual instances always have multiple explanations. My take is that there is probably minor danger from having it close to vital organs. It's not hard to keep the phone away from your body for long periods, and use hands free when talking.
>I've never seen something therefore it doesn't exist!
Nigger logic
>High Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation Associated With Cancer in Male Rats National Toxicology Program releases final reports on rat and mouse studies of radio frequency radiation like that used in 2G and 3G cell phone technologies
Sucks to be you I guess
You're a fucking idiot if you think that holding a multi-watt transmitter right next to your head is perfectly safe. Most of the scare stories are BS but there is a grain of truth.
never suffered or know of anybody that suffered from any type of radiation harm,
Anecdotes. And so you never had any health problems in life? If you did, how do you know they had nothing to do with this?
How is 1 watt that's not even at a frequency absorbed by water going to cook anything? Shit, my electric kettle is 1,850 watts and it takes 10 minutes to boil 2 lbs of water. Your body is about 140 lbs. of water.
Yup, there's a sucker boen every moment. The radiation that does come outta phones is on a wavelength thats incompatible with harming us, and even if that wasn't true, the radiation is everywhere, not just a weensy little bubble around the phone only. Which would still be in the user's hand. So people are fine with hand cancer, thats somehow not correlated or associated with the brain cancers blamed on cell phones
