Cell phones might eventually cause brain damage? Will you still use it?

Of course I'll still be using my cellphone. The problem with some researches is that they sometimes don't show the whole picture. Maybe if your cellphone is glued to your ears 24/7 then I think that would really cause some brain damage. But to just claim that radiation from cell phones cause brain damage or cancer is misleading. There are always claims, like the one that cellphones can cause cars to explode while filling up in a gas station, that are really inconclusive or just completely false. Just an opinion. Peace.

Well, I only use my cellphone to send out text messages and eventually receive them. I rarely use it to call out since it's way cheaper to just send text messages. Also, if the risk of brain damage is relatively high then how come we don't see any reports of people being treated for it? Maybe because our brain is already severly damaged and it's already immune to it? lol!

I think prolong use can cause serious health problem.If we use cell phone is a proper way there is nothing to worry about.

I have my cell phone for emergencies and have only used it once and kept it as far from my ear as possible. The trouble is I did not learn of the danger until after i bought it and distrusted the messenger (if you live in a country where cell phones are cheap and plentiful, I would not believe it because I feel you are saying that because if another country starts using cell phones in great numbers you may have to pay a higher price). I have seen many with those bluetooth receivers around their ears and I was thinking of getting one, but now I heard they are not that good. The ones that are recommended that block radiation are about one hundred plus. So I guess I will have to save for them.

Ok how often have you seen people rushing to the hospital cos of brain damage or whatever due to cell phones? Its true that mobile devices emit radiation but I dont think its enough to cause any damage to the human brain. I also dont think there is any evidence to support this. Frankly, How many people actually bother about this? mobile phones will continue to thrive until this s proved.

To use cellphone,yes, we don't have a choice if we want to go with the flow of things. To ride the tide of change.. Maybe we should just use it sparingly. Disallowing children to have full and unlimited access to it. And if medical and scientific research prooves that indeed it is harmful and could cause brain damage then something should be done. It could be from global level, each country's discretion or/and ultimately the individual's choice.

The whole "do cellphones cause cancer or not?" is a topic that has been going back and forth. One study will say it increases the risk of cancer, while another study says that the radiation will not be able to effect humans. We are not going to get a clear, stable answer at this point of time. We don't know the true long effect of cell phone use. Does that mean we should stop using them? That is up to the person. Do some research and map out of the pros and cons. Let's face it. There's a study done ever month that claims that this or that causes cancer, and that we should stop using it. We can't even feel safe anymore. You don't know what's going to happen once you step outside your front door. You could be hit walking to your car, or shot on a trip to the mall. Life is not safe, but it is not dangerous. It is truly a game of a chance. But, you are not going to have any 'fun' if you don't take any 'risks.' I will use a cellphone. As a society, we have not been given a solid answer. As I said, it goes back and forth.

I know about damage, but still use cell phone. Its very convinient to keep in touch with my friends and co-workers. It became like a part of me and it's always with me. Besides it helps me to communicate with friends from other cities as not all of them have Inet.

I hate having a cell phone and only use it if I have to - when I'm traveling. (But NEVER while I'm driving.) I remember years ago when a man blamed a cell phone for his wife's brain tumor/cancer. People thought he was nuts. Now it appears he may not have been so crazy after all. (His wife used her cell phone ALL THE TIME.) I read (and posted somewhere here - maybe in a comment?) that Canada has advised kids to never use cell phones and teens only 10 minutes at a time (and not much!) because the studies are leaning towards being very dangerous for us. Personally...I'd love to see that technology go bye-bye. But I doubt it ever will.

Hi Jenaisle, I hardly use my cell phone because I have a landline and will only use my cellphone if I have to when I'm out. Tamara

There were a lot of research saying tvs, computers and microwave cause cancer, and I am stll using these things, so I guess, yeah, I would still be using my cell.

Hmm .. i'm a little bit unbelieve with this case .... first of all, everybody use cells phone, but none of them are reported suffered from this brain damage, it's a lot of electronic equipment produce radioactive wave frequencies, but i think it's safe for human, once i know is just becarefull using you cellphones when it starting to get warm on the batteries, i heard 13 years old children goin to hospital because his arms was hurt while he is playing the game in the phonecells, it explode right into his hand .... just beware

I dont know, we hear so many different things on the subject of cellphones and brain cancer, i just dont know if i should believe those so called researchers or not, because one minute there telling us they cause brain cancer the next there telling us theres nothing to worry about, so i just dont know, but if at some point they prove without a doubt that cellphones do cause brain damage or cancer then i probably would just use my cellphone less, i dont use my cellphone that much right now any way, but i do use and need my phone.

I think cell phone is become our daily needs. We need it becaue we can call everytime in anyplace and also we can send SMS to our friends. For businessman is very useful. So we already know that the radiation of the phone will damage our brain, but we need it. So we must take the risk to use it. I think if we use a headphone or headset, it will more safe and reduce the radiation effect

This has been part of research for a few years now. It's really no big news. And cellphones don't directly cause brain tumors, too much usage is what actually may lead to a tumor. This is why I don't chat on the cellphone very long. I usually do a minute or two and then say goodbye. I also prefer text messaging because it's more convenient when I don't feel like talking or when I want to plan what I have to say.

i think cell phones are like computers,it plays an important part in our life,everyday we have to communicate to other people,if we don`t use cell phone,imagine what the world will become to?although it can damage our body,we shouldn`t stop using it.like computers,it can also damage our body,why the number of people who use computer become bigger and bigger,that because computers can take to people more benefits than disadvantages. in our life,many things are bad for us,but we still use them,so we shouldn`t judge one thing by only one aspect.

i heard tha cell phones couldnt cause brain damage. ive also heard they can... but i dont think they really can cause any damage. but i dont really know... i mean if somone can prove they can cause some damage then something should be done to cell phones to prevent this damage. if they can prove it true... this could be pretty serious

Hehe I think its inevitable not to use a mobile phone nowadays. Always rushing from a place to another. Thats the one way I can communicate with my family. So yes I still use it!

oh thats a new information to me. actually i kept the cellphone near to my head when i sleep.i heared its radiations harmfull to pregnanat ladies and it'll cause damage to the reproductivity of men also.

do you like the eastern women they have a lot of ..... www.joyjoke.cn
