Link Between Cell Phones and Brain Cancer

Question: Cell phones have become a part of Americans' daily lives, as well as that of other cultures around the globe. Over the past decade, reports that reflect a danger associated with this technology have emerged, although some experts say there is not enough evidence to support these claims. In considering both arguments, assess whether there is causative link between cell phones and brain cancer. Or is it just a coincidence? Answer: Studies over the past had revealed that there is no link between the cell phones and brain cancer (Elwood 2014). This is because brain cancer used to happen earlier when there was fewer or no use of cell phones. Cell phone does not radiate such radiations, which damage the brain cells and form cancer in brain (Kaye 2015). Thus, there is no causative link between cell phones and brain cancer and it is just a coincidence. References Elwood, J. M. (2014).
