> light can only cause molecular damage if individual photons carry enough energy, which in turn only happens if the radiation is of sufficiently high frequency (like UV light, X-Rays, or gamma radiation.)

Then we can presume you wouldn't mind being microwaved? Or simply heated to 6000 Kelvin? Both would be low frequency options.

Then we can presume you are afraid of ambient temperature increases of 1 degree? They likely have far more effect on the human body than a cell phone.

Of course not. I've written nothing to justify such an assumption.

I just don't subscribe to the preposterous belief that only extremely short wavelengths matter.
