Any study looking for long term health effects of specific behavior, no matter how good the methodology, is going to wind up looking stupid in the end. There are simply too many variables to account for.

With so many variables to consider, of course the scientists will be able to wrangle some explanation from the data that fits their hypothesis.

This kind of study makes a mockery of the scientific method by following it in name only.

I'm sure you could come to the same conclusion for dozens of factors other than cell phone radiation. How about hormones in the food supply? Work, sleeping habits? Changing life timelines? Social media?

You could attribute literally any new phenomenon from the past century to a correlated observation.

This seems like such poor science it makes me angry my tax dollars are paying for this so-called "research." What a waste of time.
