> Can mobiles cause cancer?
Bookmark topic
Thank you all for your constructive replies, it seems most of you think it wont cause any effects and coincedentally (is that spelt right?!?) I saw in the paper, I think it was yesterday, that 4 in 10 people have the genes to prevent cancer, or something like that. I mean I know theyre always talking about cancer, and if we were to obey as they said we'd have to be living in the arctic in a UV resistant room eating just fruit, veg and meat. But I dont know... thank you again all for your replies, more are welcome =D

Anything when used in exessivenes can be highly dangerous to the human body. Even our daily balanced diets must be correctly proportion not in exess. Then how much more with electronic devices.

As I said, mobiles do NOT emit radiation, but simple moderate-frequesncy radio waves. They're even weaker than Wifi. The photons of these radio waves do not contain the necessary amount of energy in order to ionize particles, and thus are extremely unlikely to cause mutation. That's how I see it, at least.

"Can mobiles cause cancer?"
Yes, every person who owns a phone is going to drop dead tomorrow...

So what if my GF has been getting headaches lately, we spend a lot of time on the phone, she seems quite worried but has only had them for 2 days... a sharp pain in her head, I said leave it for a week before we do anything eg... go and see a doctor...

I don't think this is the place for medical advice!
Personally i don't think phones cause any harm whatsoever, and for the on the phone all the time, can't you use MSN or something and have a webcam chat?!

actually that is not correct. There have been several studies that show cell phones heat living cell tissue, and that after an hour exposire the cells start to fail to reproduce correctly as a result of overheating. Once the source (the cell phone) is removed, the cells return to the normal function. Any damaged cells die and are flushed out. What is not clear from this experiment, is whether a sustained exposure of over an hour a day for years on end could lead to such poor cell division that tumours form.
Also, many people in many studies have reported a "hot" or "numb" feeling in their heads on the same side as the cell phone after more than half an hours use.
The way I look at it, if you brain cells are being heated to the point of numbness, I would consider it prudent to limit phone calls as often as possible to less than half an hour.
Seems common sense to me. Obviously it doesn't cause cancer very often, but if even a small percentage of tumours are related to cell heating, then you are playing russian roulette by using a mobile phone for extended periods.
Keep in mind also that a couple of studies show a higher percentage of tumours on the side of the brain that the study participants had used their mobile the most ie: that in the survey group, of people who had developed brain tumours a higher proportion occured on the same side of the head as mobile phone use. This statistic contravenes what one would expect if tumour formation was never affected by mobile phone use.
So it's quote untrue to say their is no evidence of links between brain tumour and cell phone use.
Of course I'm not going to stop using my cell phone, but I do limit calls to a few minutes unless I am using a headset. Personally I have noticed the "numb" feeling myself after more than half an hour use, and this numb feeling does not occur when I use a headset. That's enough evidence for me

Thanks, maxwedge. Nice post!
But you only confirmed what I said - it's very very unlikely to cause harm to one's health.
Well, anyway, I don't care, because I use my cell phone 3-4 times a day for max. 3 minutes a call.
Yeah, that's right, I use the MP3 and camera functions much more frequently than the actual 'phone' function!

hehe! Sorry mate, I just had to disagree with you from a purely factual basis, but I agree there is not much cause for alarm.
