But they do say that these cancer rates have not increased in the past decade (I guess of cell phone useage).
SEE # 12 as you scroll down.
However, I've often wondered about microwaves, which they mention.
Who knows?? And...........what about police officers with radar equipment in their patrol cars?

It might depend on the age of the person and the frequency of cellphone use. Only 5 per 100,000 have brain cancer under the age of 65. But 19 per 100,000 have brain cancer over the age of 65. That being the case, it's strange that you happen to know a few young people who have brain cancer.
Some young people are putting themselves at risk for cancer by drinking on an empty stomach. They say it's a trend among college students. They purposely drink on an empty stomach to get drunk faster. They call it,
"drunkorexia". This might be attractive to young women who don't want to develop a beer-belly. One beer, on an empty stomach, might be enough to get them drunk. This can cause stomach bleeding and perhaps stomach cancer if done often enough. But I wonder what it might do to the brain.
If they form a habit of it, it might be enough to set them up for brain cancer by the time they are 30 or 40. Who knows?
