Brain Surgeons Don't Hold Cellphones To Their Ears

Young people would be at greatest risk for brain cancer because of a lifetime of exposure if they start using cell phones early.
The doctors use an earpiece.

    • Yeah, the problem is that the radiation you're emitting into your brain doesn't cause cancer right away. It can take 10 years. Better start subscribing to your Long Term Care Insurance now just in case. Or just buy a friggin' earpiece and use it.

    • Yes microwaves, in high doeses mind you, could cause cancer.

      Does this keep me from using my cell phone?
      Not hardly.

      However, if you show me the statistics of people getting this cancer using cell phones compaired to people not using cell phones is much greater. I might reconsider my phone habbits.

      I believe due to the nature of their occupation, brain surgaeons are probably being over precautious.
