Actually, there is. MQ + X = 2C
That's the equation for how many brain tumours cellphone users get over and above the 'normal' number.

I just need to do a bit more research to develop the precise numbers of extra brain tumours. Actually, I'd like to have a variable in there for carcinogenic chemicals in the person's bloodstream too because I'm sure they would be correlated and causal. Also, maybe some kinds of viruses should perhaps be there. Not to mention the nutritional and DNA characteristics of the person. Some people have tough DNA and good cell-repairing nutritional status.

That way, each individual could know their own risk of getting a tumour, rather than being lumped in with everyone else even though they might a very low or very high risk due to the other variables. It's individual risk which matters, not population risk.

Yes, yes, I know I'll struggle to find the cellphone tumours in the mass of those caused by X-rays, Gamma Rays, burned barbecue steaks, bacon, coffee, cigarettes, viruses, poor cell-repair performance, rotten DNA, poor diet, most of which are controllable by the individual. But if they choose to worry about the cellphone tumours and choose to smoke, eat a nutrient-free diet, consume carcinogenic 'food', fly in 747s, spend time outdoors and get the wrong viruses having chosen bad parents, then that's up to them. They should not be called ignorant and due for a Darwin Award.http://www.darwinawards.com/
