"A mass study of the long-term impact of mobile phones is to be undertaken amid fears that people who have used them for more than ten years are at greater risk from brain cancer. More than 200,000 volunteers, including long-term users, are to be monitored for at least five years to plot mobile phone use against any serious diseases they develop, including cancer and Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases."
I am really not too worried about this. I rarely talk on the phone and when I do, I am using a headset about 95% of the time. I am more worried about the fact that for about 15-18 hrs a day, that cell phone is on my hip, and causing cancer down there. 8O I think I may look for an ankle holster for my cell phone. You never hear of anyone getting ankle cancer.
