Khurana — one of the world's top neurosurgeons — based his assessment on the fact that three billion people now use the phones worldwide. That is three times higher than people who smoke. Smoking kills some five million globally each year.

"Growing body of evidence"?

There have been MASSIVE studies -one after another, that show that cell phones pose NO risk whatsoever. If there is a risk, it come merely from the fact that it makes people inattentive who use them while driving or walking.

For years, people believed smoking caused no danger. Sorry but it will not surprise me if 10 to 20 years from now more studies show evidence that there is a danger.

Does this apply to texting too? Or just having the phone to the ear?
