It's important to note that in publishing this list are we in no way implying that cell phone use is or isn't harmful to your health

So why do they publish it then? Fear mongering is my guess. They know that words like radiation, and microwave, conjure up fears in the ignorant masses.

Click on the keyword, cellphones. It's the 3rd thread. I posted it. They are mostly finding malignancies on the same side of the head as the dominant hand, IIRC.

If the average person knew the amount of non ionizing radiation that surrounds them every minute of every day, and has surrounded them for virtually every minute of every day of their lives thus far, they would probably hide under their bed. Fortunately, skin effect is a fact, not a theory.

Hand held cell phones radiate at .6 watts, omni-directionally. It takes 1000 watts of highly concentrated microwave energy to pop your popcorn.

Fear, and the potential to milk hundreds of millions of dollars out of the wireless industry are precisely the motivators behind this. These fear mongers should really study RF before they write this garbage.

You better believe that if there were any possible way they could have found to add the word 'nuclear', that would have been there too.
