Cell Phones and Cancer

For nearly as long as cell phones have been in existence, there has been a debate as to whether or not they cause cancer. In January of last year, we reported on studies showing that “heavy” cell phone use can cause cellular level damage. But by April, the FDA was saying that such studies were probably incorrect. Additional studies continue to be performed, primarily in Sweden and Denmark, but as recently as last month, it looked like the debate was heading in favor of finding no link between cell phone use and cancer. Still, that isn’t stopping many people from fearing the worst. The San Francisco Chronicle reported today on the potential cell-level damage of cell phone use and the implications this has for widespread use of iPhones, cell phone tower placement and even city-wide WiFi.
