WHO: Cell phone use can increase possible cancer risk - CNN.com
Radiation from cell phones can possibly cause cancer, according to the World Health Organization. The agency now lists mobile phone use in the same "carcinogenic hazard" category as lead, engine exhaust and chloroform.

"What microwave radiation does in most simplistic terms is similar to what happens to food in microwaves, essentially cooking the brain," Black [Dr. Keith Black, chairman of neurology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles] said. "So in addition to leading to a development of cancer and tumors, there could be a whole host of other effects like cognitive memory function, since the memory temporal lobes are where we hold our cell phones."

"Children's skulls and scalps are thinner. So the radiation can penetrate deeper into the brain of children and young adults. Their cells are at a dividing faster rate, so the impact of radiation can be much larger." said Black of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Wonderful.... Maybe this is why peoples attention span has shrunken to the length of a trwitter feed and ADHS is on the rise. Nothing is proven yet, except the increase of some types of brain cancers though, but that evidently is enough to put cellphones alongside with some of the nasty things that also cause cancer.
