Question: Does using a cell phone cause brain tumors?
Answer: According to the National Cancer Institute, "studies have not shown any consistent link between cellular telephone use and cancer, but scientists feel that additional research is needed before firm conclusions can be drawn".
If you especially concerned with the risks of using a cellular phone, you can follow these guidelines from the FDA:
