Recently, Ive read articles claiming the use of cell phones can greatly increase the risk for forms of brain cancer. Especially when held right up to the ear. Im 16 and had talked excessively on the phone for years. I read the risk diminishes at the age of 20 because the brain is then fully developed. Im really worried now I could be at risk for a brain tumor. Is there any truth to cell phones causing forms of brain cancer?

The studies and debate I've seen on the subject yield conflicting results. Distancing your head or other body parts from the phone through the use of a headset seems to be a prudent move regardless. Asbestos, cigarettes, lead, mercury, and many other items were great things at one time too. Stupid apes...
