Mobile Tumor Link Drops-Out
[By Staff Reporters]
These days nearly everything gives you cancer, except mobile phones, apparently.
Suspicions of a link between brain tumors and mobile phone use have existed for some time. And, if for no other reason, it just seems ill-advised to hold a device that functions with the grace of electromagnetic radiation right next to your brain.
Specious Suspicions?
The reason why these suspicions haven’t graduated into a verifiable link is that mobile phones use non-ionizing radiation, a form of radiation that does not have enough energy to ionize and directly corrupt human DNA to bring about cancer … in the way that, say planking on the Fukushimapower plant would.
However, at the same time, prolonged exposure to this non-ionizing radiation does pose a risk to the areas of tissue that absorb the energy.

Assessment
Skeptics of the link between mobile phones and brain tumors almost have to argue there isn’t any evidence, let alone proof, which is always terribly difficult; while advocates must prove a relationship between two phenomena that develops over a long period of time for only a percentage of a population.
So doctors, what do you think?
