A member asked:
Is it true that cell phones cause brain cancer and other brain-related injures or diseases?

Unclear: Like many other epidemiological links, this one depends on your perspective. My personal view is that the link between cell phone use and brain cancers is extremely weak, but i can't believe cell phone use is good for you.

I use my cell phone for about 8 hours a day it gets scorching hot. Can this cause skin cancer or increase amount of radiation I get from it? Also if it continually searches for signal can this increase brain cancer risk?
