The evidence is mounting up, mobile phones have some cancer correlation.

I take it you're referring to this:
http://www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/p...fs/pr208_E.pdf
Lyon, France, May 31, 2011 ‐‐ The WHO/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has
classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B),
based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer 1 , associated with
wireless phone use.

I think (for this thread), we need to seperate SAR to 2 issues:
1) SAR level and the impact
2) Exposure to potentially dangerous element
I noticed a lot of comments that the SAR levels on mobilephones are insignificant to fry any brain matter. And you can compare it with the worst phones to feel good. We should also be concerned with just being exposed to this "radiofrequency electromagnetic fields", and on a prolonged period. Remember, our phones are with us almost 24/7. Our microwaves and TVs are at home when we are driving, working, shopping, etc.
I still think some caution is still required. Can we really trust the publications saying how safe it is? Even FDA says milk/dairy products are good for you when some external agencies think otherwise???

Just saw this on the news:
Last year, results of a large study found no clear link between cellphones and cancer. But some advocacy groups contend the study raised serious concerns because it showed a hint of a possible connection between very heavy phone use and glioma, a rare but often deadly form of brain tumour. However, the numbers in that subgroup weren't sufficient to make the case.

Maybe in future, handphones will be restricted/banned like they do for cigarattes???

worth doing some research into WHO guidelines for determining status as a carcinogen.......
see how many people need to get/die from cancer (with the excluson of all other risk factors) before they rate something as carcinogenic

Point taken, I wasn't correct enough for this. I edited my post to clarify.
