I saw this commercial today when I turned on the TV, for a device that has no purpose. No, cell phone radiation does not cause cancer. It just doesn't. They can try to appeal to this idea that common sense would dictate that it does. Well, it does not. I don't have the room to explain why this is the case here, but I have been interested in this topic for some time and have looked at the science. yes, there is much data. Hundreds if not thousands of studies have been done. RF radiation and health has been an issue of interest since at least the 1920's. Environmental causes of cancer generally occur because of damage to dna which things like ionizing radiation and certain chemicals can cause. RF radiation is not ionoizing. It has no direct effect on chemistry because the waves are too large to individually energize molecules. They only impart heat. Yes, there exists volumes of information on this topic. Radio energy will not do much to tissue other than heat it. This can certainly cause injury when the source is powerful enough and a subject is close to it. But mobile phones have nowhere near the power necessary heat tissue to the point of injury.
