About 5 to 8 years ago, the USA Today, NY Times, ABC, CBS, NBC news ALL reported how using cellphones upon your head most likely increase your risk of getting brain cancer. It was a big topic among all people. After these stories broke, real studies on the topic have become non-existant.
Is there a correlation between cancer and cellphone use? Someone had told me that hands-free blue tooth headsets probably exert the same amount of radiation as a cellphone, so are blue tooth & cellphones unsafe? Or did mass media 'jump the gun' and report nonsense? What is the answer here?

No, all the recent studies have found no correlation

All the studies were done at a time when people didn't have a cellphone stuck in their ear 24 hours a day but used them for only a few minutes a day.
Cell phones operate in the same frequency range as MICROWAVE OVENS and I have no doubt that eventually the truth, which has been held from people by the VERY POWERFUL cellphone lobby... will come out when the bulk of 40 and 50 somethings in this country are diagnosed with brain tumors.

Cellphones haven't been in widespread use for long enough. In a few years the researchers will have their results. I'm guessing it's not good for you.

Apparently, everything causes cancer.
