Scientific American: “Not only is there no epidemiological evidence of a causal connection, but physics shows that it is virtually impossible for cell phones to cause cancer,” writes Scientific American‘s Michael Shermer in his article debunking the popular myth. For the same reason that we don’t worry about radios, TVs, microwaves, and power outlets causing cancerbecause they don’t emit enough energy to break the molecular bonds inside cellsthere’s no reason to fear cell phones either.
