I believe if we use the cellphone 24 hours non stop , every day, for 365 days a year for 2 year, I believe we will get the cancer or maybe die. I think we use the cell phone cause we need it, and we can wisely use it. And the cancer probably we feel it many many years from now. Just be careful and wisely use it.

i am not sure if that is really true. however i heard this news a few days before. The new studies may bolster current scientific knowledge, but they will never be able to prove cell phones to be absolutely safe. Proving that cell phones don't cause cancer presents the insurmountable scientific obstacle of trying to prove a negative, Moulder explains. "The closest thing to proving that something is safe--that it doesn't cause cancer--is to try to prove that it does, and fail, and fail enough times and in enough different ways." Even when scientists are convinced of the safety of a technology--be it the technology of cell phones or of televisions, radios, computers, or microwave ovens--it doesn't necessarily follow that public fears will be put to rest. Lay people interpret scientific evidence differently from scientists, according to risk experts, and the general public may be more likely to be frightened when preliminary research shows a mere possibility of harm. Scientist Moulder is already confident that cell phone use doesn't increase a person's chance of getting brain cancer--so confident, in fact, that he sees nothing wrong with using a cell phone for even hours each day. "Go right ahead," the cancer researcher says, "but please-please-please don't use it while driving. That's dangerous."

i dont know if it is true because there is no study that says directly that using a mobile phone can cause cancer.i think the real reason why there is lot cancer patients now is because of what they eat,most foods we buy nowadays are processed foods which has chemicals in it that we havent noticed that contributes to promote cancer in our system,thats why it is better to eat real foods than processed foods or the ready to eat foods.to avoid the risk of cancer....

I don't think so. Almost everything emits radiation. Television, computers and even the sun emits radiation. The reason why people get cancer a lot these days is because they don't eat organic foods. Fertilizers contain chemicals that could cause cancer. There is also an interesting study that says that cancer cells are already inside our body. However, because we are picky of what we eat, these dormant cancer cells becomes more active. You heard that right, because of what we don't eat, we cause these cells to become cancerous. So eat healthy and live long!
