    There have been studies that confirm both sides of the question. My BIL spent a lot of time driving with one of those headphone ear plug thing and was diagnosed with cancer of the salivary gland on that side of his head. Whether of not the emissions (admittedly Bluetooth) caused it is anyone's guess.

    Yes, pretty well documented and worse for children with thinner skulls. Cell phone companies have tried to suppress public awareness of this, but independent studies have corroborated the risk. Corporate profit over humane considerations is what built America , since Industrial Revolution

    If it did, we'd all have cancer, right? Radio waves are hitting you from everywhere, everyday, all day --- cell towers, police radio, satellites, TV and radio stations, automatic door openers at stores, and many more. Your cell phone is just one of many.

    We don't know, yet. Lots of different sorts of cancer, and of phones.
