I'd really like to see this "rising proof" of yours. And by "proof" I mean published results of respected medical studies, not opinionated articles in magazines.

Guys, the horse is dead can you stop beating it?

There is no residual radiation from microwaved foods or radiated products like bananas. and the cell phone is more of a concern than a TV because you are holding it to your head lol.

You know those "opinionated articles" are published by doctors and scientists right?

But you're right, most of them say "possible link".
Proof of mobile health risk| News | This is London

Scientists debate possible cell phone link to brain cancer - CNN.com

CNN'S LARRY KING DISCUSSES THE DANGERS OF CELL PHONES

And about the radiating household appliances, its not like we're pressing our heads against our TVs monitors and microwaves right?
Anyway, this thread wasn't meant to **** off fanboys (as i am a fan of BB) but to enlighten the community. Bluetooth still emits radiation but its so little that its not worth mentioning.

Opinionated articles don't consist of proof even if they are written by doctors or scientists. Scientists and doctors prove things by experiments and studies that get published in peer reviewed magazines and then confirmed. Even one study often isn't enough to consider something proven.

I am also curious what this supposed rising proof is.

Guys, this is like denying global warming!
Radiation is known by everyone to mutate cells AKA cancer. Radiation is emitted from cell phones, also known by everyone. Yes the radiation is minuscule but prolonged exposure (years and years) can mutate cells. And the part of your brain least protected from radiation is your temple and ear. It cant be that hard to put two and two together. There is no hard proof yet because cellphones haven't been in use long enough to do a proper study.

I use mine on speaker phone 99% of the time... Do you get radiated from speakerphone?

I guess you have not been to Wisconsin lately. To give you synopsis of what it is like:
1. over a third of the year it gets below freezing (we have only had a couple days above freezing since Thanksgiving)
2. Lakes freeze solid enough that people drive their cars on them.
3. It gets cold enough that tears and mucas freeze.

And to put it in a real perspective for all you "scientists", in the grand scheme of things, we are coming out of an Ice Age.

Back on topic, if it was not cancer killing us it would be something else. Buy a phone and talk as long as you want, you may only live to be 50.

I doubt it, its pretty far away from your head ("sensitive brain cells").

No it is not like denying global warming.

You say it all in your last sentence - there is no hard proof.

Where are the studies showing that the waves that cell phones emit cause these mutations? Cell phones do not emit radiation like gamma particles or the like kind of nuclear radiation, but electromagnetic radiation in specific frequencies just like radios and TVs.

If they do cause cancer then we should find the proof.

Holy **** i give up. Think what you want! Your heads are so dense the radiation wouldn't affect you anyways lol.

Show me proof that global warming is real.

Either way, Storm wins!!! Haha, its lower than my old "dumb" phone!

Cold weather doesn't disprove global warming. The claims of global warming don't claim that somehow temperatures won't go below zero or we won't ever have a winter that is colder than others we have seen.

I don't really want to jump into a heated debate, but isn't it relatively well accepted that global warming IS real... the debate is just whether humans are causing it or it is just a natural cycle for our planet?

I don't know though -- my forte is bio/chem/physics, not earth stuff. LOL!
