The RF possibly CAN give you cancer

Is there some *particular* region of the EM spectrum to which you
refer?
Because I can tell you without a doubt that to say "RF CAN give you
cancer" is a bit like saying "all Eastern Europeans are thieving
****s."
It's just way too much of a generalisation.

No. It's a bit like saying "Some Eastern Europeans are thieving ****s."
or "All Eastern Europeans may be thieving ****s."

As I'm sure you know perfectly well, it's at the higher frequencies
where the body is capable of absorbing more RF power. That's why we
have 'microwave' ovens and not 'longwave' ovens. The most likely effect
is that you get cooked from within - and continual, repetitious,
subliminal internal parboiling is not likely to do your cell structure
much good, Such damage can increase the likelihood of the repair
process starting to fail to work correctly.

Howver cooking does not casue cancer and the power of most RF devices is
very very small indeed

You should be far morw worried about a smart phone slung down near your
genitals with a head set.

Or eating bananas.

Indeed. Or luminous watches and CRT TV sets; two big health scares from
the 50s and 60s. Funny how there is *always* *something* to be afraid of,
isn't it? Mad Cow Disease, mercury in seafish, lead in paint, the Flesh
Eating Bug, HIV/AIDS, 'bad' cholesterol, the false widow spider,
carcinogenic coffee, the 'hole in the sky', cigarette tar, particulates
in diesel, global warming, etc., etc., etc. It just goes on and on and on
and on........
I still think the old adage covers it perfectly: everything in moderation!
