10. I can't tell you who funded each individual study

But I can tell you that, unlike tobacco, unlike alcohol, unlike multiple forms of pollution, and like the alleged vaccine-autism link, there is no credible biological and physical science basis for expecting any link whatsoever between cell phones and the harms they are alleged to cause. Null results are not suspicious; the surprise would be to find cause for alarm. The whole scare is based mainly on the fact that the long-wavelength light waves cell phones use are a form of "electromagnetic radiation," which is verbally - but not physically - similar to genuinely hazardous "ionizing radiation." The proposed warnings have no scientific merit.
