I would really like to see a citation for that!

Google it. It's all over the internet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_radiation_and_health http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_radiation_and_heal...

  Because if it's all over the internet, it must be true? The wiki page even says: The WHO added that "to date, no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use." As far as I can tell there has, to date, not been a single proper study that actually showed any effects. Just a bunch of fearmongering and cases like this: http://retractionwatch.com/2012/03/26/rabbits-neednt-worry-about-cell-phones-effects-on-their-sperm-count-say-three-retractions/ http://retractionwatch.com/2012/03/26/rabbits-neednt-worry-a...

  There is no evidence of increased cancer risk from cell phones. Steven Novella has good posts on it. "Warning Labels on Cell Phones": http://theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/warning-labels-on-cell-phones/ http://theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/warning-labels-... and "Another Cell Phone – Cancer Review": http://theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/another-cell-phone-cancer-review/ http://theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/another-cell-ph...

  Following your link: > In 2011, International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified mobile phone radiation as Group 2B - possibly carcinogenic. Group 2B includes coffee, pickled vegetables, titanium dioxide (used in food coloring and sunscreens), and work in carpentry, dry cleaning, printing industry, and textile industry. I think I'll keep my cell phone. (And coffee and kimchi, for that matter.)

The problem is that it is VERY hard to do a conclusive study on this. Never mind that a low dose radiation study would take many years: the hard part is that you need to randomly select half of your group to use only non-radiating (non-functional) cell phones. Good luck finding a group of volunteers for that.
