To say that 'cellphones' cause cancer is silly in the extreme. 'Cellphones' deliver different radiation rates, users have very different usage patterns, each user's physiology and therefore response is different, etc., etc. It would be an epidemiologist's nightmare to fashion a study that could validly conclude that cell phone users have a statistically significant higher rate of brain cancers, even of a particular kind, than that of the population at large. Remember that I said 'fashion a study' not 'perform a study.' The study would have to be validly designed then properly implemented. The implementation could be just as difficult as the design. If some class action jockey decided to sue, I think it would be singularly easy to send him packing. I think litigation has been tried. I am not aware of any successful cases.
