Study Finds No Link Between Mobile Phones and Cancer (Again)

Posted by Soulskill on from the discard-the-tinfoil-hat dept.

judgecorp writes "A Danish study of more than 350,000 people found no correlation between using a mobile phone and getting cancer. The results backs up previous work, but researchers say more work is needed to be completely sure."

    People who believe that cell phones cause cancer and vaccines cause autism will never be convenced by any amount of evidence.

    So stop worrying about all the things that contribute so little to the risk that a 350,000 person study can't identify a link. Enjoy your life, and avoid the things with a strong correlation to cancer, like tobacco, excessive UV exposure, high levels of radioactivity, etc.

    We don't need more study of a link between cell phone usage and cancer, because repeated studies have shown that any risk is too low to measure even in large studies of long term users, therefore, too low to worry about.

    Maybe 25th time is the charm: "Significant link found between cellphones running Windows Phone, p < 0.05!"
