Microwave RF can most certainly damage human cells. If you can defeat the safety switch, stick your hand into a microwave oven and turn it on if you think this is but an urban myth. Of course, cell phones produce such RF at far lower power, but the FCC decided to limit the amount of RF absorption levels in the interest of public safety. Would cell phone providers like to be able to radiate at higher power levels? Probably so, because they could then get by with fewer cell tower sites if for no other reason. However, the FCC, in conjunction with the FDA, determined what was perceived to be a safe level and mandated that it not be exceeded by cell phone handsets. No one here on this list has said, to the best of my knowledge, that cell phone use has been proven to cause any health problems other than by killing and injuring folks when they crash their cars while using one or hurt themselves by falling over or running into things as they walk about talking or playing games on them. There is more than enough danger right there. The facts of the matter are as originally stated. Make you own decisions. If you want aluminum foil, be my guest.
