The debate over whether cell phones do cause cancer or other long term health problem has been debated for years and is hot point for many people. Telecom and cell phone manufacturers would suffer serious economic repercussions if a link was ever substantially established. In fact many consumers would be hard pressed to give up their phones. However a study done in Denmark is being published on MSNBC

Scientists tracked 420,000 Danish cell phone users, including 52,000 who had gabbed on the gadgets for 10 years or more, and some who started using them 21 years ago.

Schuz’s team studied data on 420,095 Danish cell phone users (357,553 men and 62,542 women) who first subscribed for mobile service between 1982 and 1995 and were followed through 2002 — meaning some were tracked for two decades. The researchers then compared their cancer incidence to the rest of Denmark’s population.

A total of 14,249 cancer cases were seen among the cellular telephone users, a number that was lower than would be expected for that population, according to the study appearing in the Journal of the
National Cancer Institute.
