Dangers of Cellphone- Particularly the iPhone?

Okay, so I've heard a lot about cell phone emission and radiation this Afternoon, and it has me frightened. I love my iPhone. But my problem isn't talking on it, it's texting. Is texting as dangerous? I keep my phone away from my body, yet, I'am skeptical because I think of emission through my fingers. I do not want to have cancer, and it really has me upset. Any good advice?

Remember that classic "this is your brain on drugs" commercial, with the egg frying in a pan? If you soon see a "this is your brain on cell phones" clip, don't say we didn't warn you: Cell phone radiation may be slowly sautéing your noodle, finds new research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences… >Read for the details… Http://news.menshealth.com/cell-phone-brain-damage/2012/12/18/

I just wouldn't hold any cellphone on my ear for extended time, too many unknowns when you can easily just use speaker or headset plugin. Iphone has a fantastic speaker by the way, even those listening on the other end say it doesn't sound like speaker.

Rest easy. The whole controversy stems from a study about 25 years ago that showed the incidence of two forms of brain cancer, gliomas and astrocytomas, were doubled in electrical workers. That was a very frightening find, one that spurred strict EMF regulations in the EU.

A few years ago a much larger study was completed, one that lasted nearly the two decades since the original study. The new study showed no correlation (actually a minute negative correlation) between exposure to EMFs and brain cancers.

No surprise there - the physics made it surprising when it was suspected. The wavelength at 60 Hz power frequencies is five million kilometers. Cell phones operate in 2 GHz range, with wavelengths around the width of your head. It is generally conceded that cancer is the result of cellular or sub-cellular processes and so would require frequencies at least a thousand times greater than your cell phone produces. That is why X-rays and gamma rays, extremely short wavelength radio waves, are known to produce cancer.

That is not to say radio transmitters are 100% safe, though. There are risks associated with high power transmitters as a result of the heating effect of the radio waves. Your iPhone is not in that category; it is just too low power. The most sensitive organs to the heating effect are the eyes (where the heating can cause cataracts) and the testes. So I don't recommend you make a habit of falling asleep with it on your eyes or… Well, I don't recommend it. But in realistic terms it is not an issue. Heating from sunshine - thermonuclear radiation so intense it warms your skin and can seriously burn it - is much more important in terms of heating your brain.
