    Oh man this is pretty terrible from the Mail ping @drg1985 - there's no evidence that mobile phone radiation is itself harmful - mobile phones DON'T CAUSE CANCERpic.twitter.com/w0jC6oGd8Y

        There was some minor concern that mobile phone radiation could raise the risk of tissue (NOT that it could cause DNA damage) but so far this has not been seen in research

        There was also a vague signal that people who had cancer might've been exposed to higher levels of phone radiation, but this has not been found in more robust research

        In other words, you're 100s of times more likely to die from a phone-related driving accident than to experience any issues from mobile phone radiation

        If you were to puree and eat a mobile phone, there are some substances that might be carcinogenic. But the only radiation danger is eyestrain.
