What about all the adults that got phones between 2000-2015 and use them since then to today? I'd expect a 50 year old person that uses a phone for the past 25

I'd expect a 50 year old person that uses a phone for the past 25 years to be full of holes if cellphone usage has any effect on kids using them for few years. Especially since older phones were radiating much more energy.
- nick__m 2y agoNot necessarily, assume that cellular radio emissions effects on cells is like really a mild form of radiotherapy. It would mostly impact some cells undergoing mitosis while having almost no impact on mature slowly dividing cells. I am not saying that cellular radio are harmful but it's cumulative impact on dividing cells should be tested to exclude that possibility.

- Thiez 2y agoThe human digestive tract is constantly creating new cells, it's a lot like skin in that sense. I doubt teens have much significantly more mitosis in their butts compared to adults.
