Will you limit your cell phone use due to the news about the cancer risk?

Question

Will you limit your cell phone use due to the news about the cancer risk?

Answer 1

No, I do not feel the information has sufficient backing to worry about it.

...The warning from Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, is contrary to numerous studies that don't find a link between cancer and cell phone use, and a public lack of worry by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Herberman is basing his alarm on early unpublished data. He says it takes too long to get answers from science and he believes people should take action now — especially when it comes to children...

Answer 2

There is no cancer risk.  The type of radiation emitted by your phone is radio frequency radiation, not ionizing radiation.  It lacks the ability to damage DNA like ionizing radiation does.  There is no known mechanism by which it can cause cells to become cancerous.

Answer 3

No, if I used it any less I would even need it.  Makes me glad to pay the $90 a month for what amounts to an alarm clock.

Answer 4

FACT: Loads of studies end up spitting out c**p.

Answer 5

i do not understand why this is new news.  I heard about this about 15 years ago.  cancer is not the only risk, driving, and being distracted is a road hazard.

Answer 6

No and if you listen to every cancer alert you wouldn/t be doing much of anything including eating.

Answer 7

no way!

Answer 8

We rarely use ours, so YES
