A new paper offers reassurance that cell

phones don't give you brain cancer, which is great. Phew! So how did we get here?

Back in 2011, the World Health Organization's cancer research agency classified mobile phone radiation as possibly carcinogenic.

That's a category that means there's limited evidence that something could possibly raise cancer risk, but it's far from definitive.

You know what else falls into that category?

And listen, if eating pickled dichon is how I go,
