Question
Do cell phones cause cancer?
Position2 of 3

No, cell phones don't cause cancer.

This position holds that cell phones do not cause cancer. It argues on two fronts: that large epidemiological studies find no rise in cancer among phone users, and that the physics is reassuring — the non-ionising radiation phones emit lacks the energy to damage DNA.

    There is no statistical association between cancer rates and cell phone use.
  2. Physics says cell phones do not cause cancer
    The radiation emitted by cell phones is too low-energy to cause cancer.
