Scientists have found the first evidence linking brain cancer with mobile phone use.
It was found that users who spend more than an hour a day talking on a mobile phone have a close to one-third higher risk of developing a rare form of brain tumor. Most frequently, the cancers were found on the side of the head that the user held the phone up to. The association was found with digital mobile phones, old-style analogue mobile phones and digital enhanced cordless phones.
In the current study, researchers looked at the medical records of 1,600 patients with tumors who had used mobile phones for up to 10 years before diagnosis. They found that the more mobile phones were used, and the more years they were used, the higher the risk of brain tumors.
Further, spending more than an hour on a mobile phone per day increased the risk of acoustic neuroma, a type of tumor, by some 30 percent. This type of tumor, usually curable by surgery, can occur in a nerve in the brain and lead to deafness in one ear.
Aside from the wireless headset, cell phone dangers can be minimized by using a wired headset and keeping the phone away from your body while it is in standby mode--keep the phone in a purse or holster on your belt instead of in a pocket.

I used to work in the health field and a specialist told me that years ago.
He also demonstrated what happens if you put a paperclip on the earpiece during a phone conversation! It stands on it's end!
Keep calls to a minimum on your mobiles people!

I'd like too know your source and whether it's current. This sounds like a vaguely familiar old email that's since been disproven.

This is totally bogus, where did you get this information from? Current cell phones don't put out enough energy to even penetrate your skull.
