What the IARC said is they're roughly equivalent in terms of how likely it is that there is some risk.
What the IARC is talking about is our state of knowledge, not officially how risky things are.
And that's something that got very confused in these stories.
Absolutely.
I mean, they're not in the cigarettes league.
I mean, they just can't be all we'd know.
That's absolutely right.
This was in the middle of July where the XKCD comic said, another huge study found no evidence that cell phones cause cancer.
And it referred back to this World Health Organization study.
This is the first I'd heard of there being another huge study.
It was actually a better study technically than most of the studies that have been done on this in that,
Rather than essentially relying on records that might be wrong and people's memories, it actually followed people up for a long period of time, recording how much they used their phones and whether any of them got these tumours they were interested in.
It was one particular kind of tumour.
You have to follow up with these huge numbers.
Most of them will be fine, but a few of them will get it.
And then you look and see whether they used their phones more than other people did.
Anyway, that's what they did, and they found there wasn't really any evidence that they had.
There's practically no mention of it in the UK media.
It's in this cartoon.
That's how I found out about it.
