How harmful are cell phones to the brain and the human body?

Question by GooGles: How harmful are cell phones to the brain and the human body?
You read about all the magnetic waves that cell phones radiate, and how it is bad for your body (especially your brain.) But what are the worst case scenarios for using a cell phone for a long period of time? Do you get cancer? Less intelligent?

Also, is it true that the lower the battery of the cell phone, the more radiation it emits?

One final question, is it harmful to keep your cell phone next to your testicles/penis (scientific terms I'm using)?

Thanks.

Answer by Peter H
After years of observation and argument, nobody has come up with proof that cell phones are dangerous to health, but it is reasonable to limit the exposure in children, whose brains are still developing. They really don't need to be on the phone all the time anyway.

A low battery does not increase the radiation. However, the further you are from the base station, the greater the radiation. this is because the phone senses that reception is weak, and increases its own output to ensure good contact
