WHO: Cell phone use can increase possible cancer risk

Exactly. I see no problems eating crap everyday, dumping a salt shaker in my mouth, smoking a few packs and drinking like a fish. After all, I am gonna die like the rest of them.

Okay...or we can resort to sarcasm....

My point was...every day we learn about something that's going to kill us...and even if we don't use that particular something, somebody else will and it will still kill us. I've seen people work themselves into a panic, almost living in clean rooms...just to avoid all of these "dangers" to their lives. We're all gonna die. Some sooner than others, but we'll all die. I see no reason to freak out and panic over every little thing. I can try to be healthy and live in a healthy way to promote my quality of life, but I'm not worrying about the "mights" and "could haves".
 
I will not wonder if cell phones will be prohibited in five or ten years.

We do? Each and every day? Shoot, I miss all of that good stuff!

Listen, the Who report is not up in arms pointing fingers and shouting that cell phones are deadly. To me, they gave a heads up. Frankly, I am glad for such organizations because I have little doubt there's a lot out there that we--as consumers--are oblivious to. Cigarettes started out to be a healthy thing to suck into out lungs, and had the backing of many doctors. It's kinda funny to think that was possible (now that we know the whole truth). But it certainly did happen. So to me, it *IS* possible that cell phones could cause certain forms of cancer. Fifty years from now, that generation just might shake their heads and think, "WTF were they thinking allowing microwave radiation so close to their heads?"

That's unlikely to happen because the wavelengths released are negligible.
Not to mention that we've had cellphones for near on 30 years and cancer has yet to develop in such huge amounts from their usage.

Quite frankly, everything has a toxicity level.
Every single thing on this planet, can be toxic to you.

WHO is finding a reason to exist, by scaring people about nothing.
