Canada's largest city has recommended that parents limit the cellphone use of their children, but Health Canada said in response that science does not show that cellphones are unsafe.

I'm a mother of 5 and will not allow a cell for any of them. They can get one when adult if they wish but i will not risk their health for anything or anyone. If the facts are true or not, are we not as a nation contributing enough to health problems? If we can prevent a serious health problem, why would we look the other way? Cancer is at a high level due to human negligence (tech or health wise), why continue risking it when you don't have to? We didn't have these gadgets before and less people were sick. Everything we consume or use is based with harmful ingredients of some kind. Let's stay healthy and safe!!!

After a cell phone company was sued and lost, they funded a 28 million dollar study that showed they are dangerous. By the time the study was done, cell users went from the millions to billions, and it was attempted to be cover up to make3 money. Part of dr carlos letter from above website:

Specifically, I reported to you that:

* The rate of death from brain cancer among handheld phone users was higher than the rate of brain cancer death among those who used non-handheld phones that were away from their head;
* The risk of acoustic neuroma, a benign tumour of the auditory nerve that is well in range of the radiation coming from a phone's antenna, was fifty percent higher in people who reported using cell phones for six years or more, moreover, that relationship between the amount of cell phone use and this tumour appeared to follow a dose-response curve:
* The risk of rare neuro epithelial tumours on the outside of the brain was more than doubled, a statistically significant risk increase, in cell phone users as compared to people who did not use cell phones;
* There appeared to be some correlation between brain tumours occurring on the right side of the head and the use of the phone on the right side of the head;
* Laboratory studies looking at the ability of radiation from a phone's antenna to cause functional genetic damage were definitively positive, and were following a dose-response relationship.
