Swedes Link Cell Phones w/Cancer

Swedish researchers have conducted the largest study of cell phone cancer risk to date, with over 2,000 subjects. Their results indicate that heavy users have a much higher chance of cancer on the side of their head that they use the phone. The number given is a 240% increase in risk, and heavy users are defined as people who have used their phone more than 2,000 hours aggregate. They also found people who began to use the phone before the age of twenty to be of higher risk.
