Once Again, No Evidence of Cell Phone-Cancer Link

Further to the studies detailed here, a major new study once again shows us that there is no evidence pointing to a connection between cell phones and cancer:
In this update of a large nationwide cohort study of mobile phone use, there were no increased risks of tumours of the central nervous system, providing little evidence for a causal association.
As the Associated Press explains it:
The biggest study ever to examine the possible connection between cellphones and cancer found no evidence of any link, suggesting that billions of people who are rarely more than a few inches from their phones have no special health concerns.
The Danish study of more than 350,000 people concluded there was no difference in cancer rates between people who had used a cellphone for about a decade and those who did not.
