There's no ionizing radiation given off by cell phones. Guess what, the older you get the chances of brain tumors goes up.

I always knew cancer caused people to use cell phones!
Edit: on a serious note, the confidence interval for malignant tumors is an odds ratio of 1.2-3.4, although a quick google finds more recent studies (I.e.: not based off of 1990s cell phones) are even lower.
Can confirm. Survived cancer. Haven't survived cell phone addiction.
Good on you for surviving cancer. Here's hoping that you're not a Nazi! ❤️🤞
I'm not a nazi! I'm only a monster if you consider a tickle monster to be a monster!
runs off and ties several people to the train track near a lever
Oh, don't worry. This train tracks is abandoned. But it makes for a nice steel spot to tie captives to so they can't squirm away while I tickle their feet! Now where did I put that feather......
train zooms by killing everyone
.....ah, found it OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE???
I'm pretty sure this study from 2007 has been refuted
I'm pretty sure you're just making that up. Lobbyist bot?
You're calling me a bot? In whay sense of the word? Can you find something more recent? Here's what I've found. This metaanalysis from 2020 concluded there was an association. However, this comment points out several flaws in their metaanalysis.
So I guess we don't 100% know for sure? If that's the case then I'd guess the effect is very small or nonexistant.
Two cohort studies and 16 case-control studies on this topic were identified […] The cohort study was of limited value due to methodological shortcomings in the study.
Thats basically no evidence at all. Case control studies are mostly used to see if there might be some correlation and from that to form a hypothesis for further research.
Who holds a phone next to their head anymore?
I keep mine next to my balls
Some of us still use phones as phones. Shocking and horrifying, I know.
Yeah, who doesn't call someone every once in a while? Call your mom. Call your dad. Call your wife. Your grandma. Your kids! Friends! (Yeah right. Not since I had kids of my own.) Talk to each other!
❤️
I haven't held a phone to my ear since before smartphones were a thing. Headsets existed for land lines. Speakerphone functions existed on land lines as well as early regular cell phones (as opposed to dumb phones which tend to have more functions than the ultra basic phones did back in the nineties).
I'm fairly confident that the last time I held a phone to my ear was before the turn of the century. I know it's been that long at least since I would have while driving and/or at work. The cell I had at the time worked better by headset, and there were plenty of cheap and decent ones available
It's ok, they're trying to shift the blame from their product / technology to how the user uses the phone incorrectly, you know, like a phone. Just look at the amount of posts in this thread singing the same tune. Coincidence, right?
Noone, they just shout into their phones from approx 3 metres away.
Do young children even hold phones near their heads anymore? I rarely see a kid less than their early teens doing anything but FaceTime or games. And after that point, video chats, texting, and doom scrolling.
Even my 15yo daughter never holds the phone against her head.
Yes, when making phone calls they shout at their phone from 3 metres away, everyone knows that.
