Officially, there is no link between cell phones and brain tumours. Unofficially, it ranks as the next biggest conspiracy next to who really shot JFK and, more recently, whether Princess Di was assassinated by the British Secret Service.
Anecdotal evidence abounds.
There are lawsuits now filed on both sides of the Atlantic from people who claim they have developed brain tumours from using wireless telephones. An oft-cited Australian study says mice exposed to cell phone waves were twice as likely to develop cancer. But while the conspiracists hold it as the smoking gun in the debate, the scientific community, including the most definitive study thus far, says the issue needs more investigation. There is no definitive evidence of a link between tumours and cell phones. At least not yet.
