Because if it's all over the internet, it must be true?

The wiki page even says: The WHO added that "to date, no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use."

As far as I can tell there has, to date, not been a single proper study that actually showed any effects. Just a bunch of fearmongering and cases like this: http://retractionwatch.com/2012/03/26/rabbits-neednt-worry-a...

There is no evidence of increased cancer risk from cell phones. Steven Novella has good posts on it.

Following your link: > In 2011, International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified mobile phone radiation as Group 2B - possibly carcinogenic.

Group 2B includes coffee, pickled vegetables, titanium dioxide (used in food coloring and sunscreens), and work in carpentry, dry cleaning, printing industry, and textile industry.

I think I'll keep my cell phone. (And coffee and kimchi, for that matter.)
