Not only have cell phones become a important and vital part of our society, they have become the new telephone of the modern 20th century. With many people world-wide using cell phones how do we stop the cancer spreading to our brains?

I have heard this before and most recently, there is one state (can't remember which state it is) that is wanting to pass a law that puts a health warning on cell phones about the potential of getting cancer. I honestly don't buy this and most scientists and doctors would agree. The majority of doctors say that there really is no substantive evidence that would point to cell phones causing cancer. However, there should probably be more studies done to understand the effects of cell phone use on the human body. But I think it will end up being the same as when people feared using microwaves and regular landline telephones because of potential health hazards.

As of recent, there has been much study on the cell phone use with brain cancer and many other disturbing findings that are not mentioned in the daily media. The new technology has ushered in some very troubling statistics, this is why we should use ear devices and speaker phone, it is a more healthier way to conversate.

But the thing is that most doctors and medical societies will not issue such warnings until these findings are substantiated. You see, there was the same type of "hysteria" if you want to call it that when people starting spreading rumors and stuff about the potential of catching cancer from microwaves or home telephones. The fact is that, even if the cell phones do give off radiation or anything like that, it is in such miniscule amounts that it wouldn't even be harmful, just like microwaves.

In my opininon Cell phones won't cause cancer. There is no proof that they produce radiation. Its just a bunch of stuff circulated to cause a scare and create conversation. Cell phones comicuate through radio waves that travel through the air bouncing through towers. The technology is so that it's perfectly harmless. It's just talk. If you are going to allow yourself to worry over something that's unproven, then don't bother even having one. That's paranoyia and that's more dangerous then the phone itself.

I don't have a cell phone, as I can't afford it. I've an old fashioned land line. I don't go out much so a cell phone would be fairly useless anyway. * What's all this about cell phone cancer?

yeah, I have realized that cellphone radiation is hazadous, therefore, I changed my cellphone habit. I used to keep it on 24 hours. Now I turn it off before bed, I go to bed quite late, after 12.00. Even so, I put my cellphone away from me, as far as possible. In the daytime, I try to avoid danger from it by putting on the loudspeaker so that I don't need to put it very close to my ear. In office, I try to use desk telephone instead of cellphone. and yeah, avoid long-hour talking on our cell. have a good day !
