This is an interesting counterpoint to an article/thread from earlier today:

"Why Cell Phones Can’t Cause Cancer, But Bananas Can"

Evidence trumps theory. A theory can be as clever as you like, but if it disagrees with the evidence, the theory is wrong.

And what is the actual evidence of the visible increase of cancer from EM radiation? Is there a real "signal" or a kind of "noise"?

I've also stumbled to this:

Well, X-rays of course. There's a pretty strong case to be made that exposure to uv increases skin cancer rates.

I'm sure you mean the lower frequency stuff though, and yeah, that's probably pretty safe.

Yes, of course, I mean all the waves on the infrared side of the light (those that we call "radio waves") not on the ultraviolet one. And I mean not including heating effects, which are already measured.

There are a lot of papers which have failed to reproduce these effects. Granted fractal antennas are weird in and of themselves but cellular ones fail to pass the sniff test.
