Do Cell Phones Cause Cancer? (No, not likely.)

Certainly, holding an emitter of electromagnetic radiation close to your head frequently should raise some question as to whether this could be harmful. However, cancers that could be caused by such EMR are occurring less frequently even as cell phone use is becoming more and more common. The best medical studies to date do not show a link, either.

This article (h/t New York Times) does an elegant job of bringing together the concerns and the most reliable information to date. For those avoiding the NYT paywall, this article (h/t BoingBoing) summarizes it quite nicely.
