Some studies imply that mobile phones increase the risk of brain cancers, while some of them disprove them. I will use mobile phones until I eventually die, or get a brain tumour.

According to BBC:

Tokyo Women's Medical University found no increased risk of the three main types of brain cancer among regular mobile phone users.


The study, comparing 322 brain cancer patients and 683 healthy people, appears in British Journal of Cancer.


The cancer patients had one of the three most common types of brain tumour - glioma, meningioma or pituitary adenoma.


The researchers rated each subject according to how many years they had been using a mobile phone, and how long they spent talking on it each day.


They studied the radiation emitted from various types of mobile phone, and placed them into one of four categories relating to radiation strength.
