Is it true that talking on the cellphone too much can cause cancer? If yes, what phones? or why? etc.

that's an urban myth
cancer is caused by an error in DNA replication, causing the cells to multiply like crazy(hence a tumor). Getting sunburn or smoking kills the cells, so they have to reproduce faster, increasing the chance of them messing up. Nothing can cause cancer, just increase chances of getting it. You can get cancer anytime. Even right now...

There was a scare about this a few years ago but was never proved to be true. With today's phones I don't believe there is much danger for as much as some people are on the cell phone , I'd think there would be a lot of people with some kind of related cancer.

There is still debate about this. You can find medical studies to support either viewpoint. Cell phones are transmitters of electromagnetic energy. The specific absorption rate (SAR) is a standard to compare various cell phones. Personally, I don't know if it causes cancer or not, but having transmitter so close to the head constantly doesn't sound like a good idea to me. An earbud when possible will move the cell phone radiation away from your head.

there is no evidence yet that they can cause brain cancer, however, the studies to prove such things take a long time to conduct, but I am sure that in the future it will be proven there is a link. The best thing to do is use your cell as little as possible to reduce your risk or use the speaker phone feature, it keeps the phone further away from your head and also reduces the risk, better yet use a land line when possible

There are theories about the radiation from a cell phone giving people cancer. However, the conclusions from any kind of research has been inconclusive. There has been no actual link found in objective studies.

certain! even although i'm no longer confident they are mandatory in any respect, we in simple terms imagine they are. they are basically sturdy for asking what we want from the keep or if our automobile breaks down or perhaps then what did we do in the previous cellphones? no one is that major till you're a well being care service attempting to be reached. no longer a lot that would want to't wait untill you get close to a land line. all of us is getting impolite and ridiculiuous with them. conversing to someone on them even as attempting to communicate with human being in the front of them or ignoring human being they are with to confer with someone on telephone. they are in simple terms a luxuary and no teen must have a $three hundred telephone bill-lol

this was a big thing back before cell phone went digital. the older phones emitted a high EM radio frequency. some people were sensitive to this. the newer digiatl phone don't have this problem.

I believe it's a myth to and they truly have no real proof of this yet!! But, if so I think alot of people are going to get cancer!

yes ofcourse it is really bad the waves that carry signals can go through the brain which causes tumor thats why you should't have your fone in a pocket near your heart it can seriously damage it. be careful :)

yes that is a myth....you are bombarded with more harmful micro-waves and radio-waves and other types of rays and waves everyday....cell phones are harmless....
