Cell Phones Found to Emit Bullshit
Plans are unfolding in the state of Maine and in the City of San Francisco to mandate cancer warnings on cellular phones. It is alleged that the use of the omnipresent communication devices causes cancerous growths in the brain.

Cell phone radiation doesn’t cause cancer.
Cancer causing agents break chemical bonds, creating mutant strands of DNA. Microwave photons are not capable of breaking chemical bonds.
In 1989, Paul Brodeur, a staff writer for the New Yorker, claimed in a series of sensational articles that electromagnetic fields from power lines cause childhood leukemia. Brodeur, however, did not understand this and when virtually every scientist agreed that it was impossible, Brodeur took their unanimity as proof of a massive cover-up. Other anti-science fear mongers followed Brodeur’s lead, shifting their attack to cell phone radiation. Cell phones have since spread to almost the entire population, but with no corresponding increase in brain cancer. Case closed.
