Is it true that cellphones and iPads cause cancer?
I’m screwed because I sleep with my ipad next to my head and I don’t wanna die

The issue is with thermal energy (heat).

Just don't sleep on top of it...

As stated before in your other thread, everything could cause cancer.
The food you eat, the places you visit, the things you touch, the air you breathe, etc.

The most healthy person on the planet could get cancer, while the most unhealthy person on the planet could not.

There is no real point in wishing to not die, because it is going to happen one way or another. You would be better off learning to accept it instead of fearing for your life.

causes cancer = probably not
may cause cancer = probably yes.

Are you suggesting chemical carcinogens and radiation do not cause cancer?

cancer may arise from exposue to risk factors.
however, different people have different reactions when exposed to risk factors because of genetics, immunity, etc.

example, not all people exposed to hiroshima nuclear fallout die from cancer.
not all people exposed to nuclear radiation give birth to deformed babies.
not all cigarette smokers die due to lung cancer.

in other words, risk factors increase the chance of acquiring certain medical conditions.

No.

There are other factors that can lead to cancer but electronics are the least of your worries.

But everything can't cause cancer, only very specific things, and accepting you're going to die one day doesn't mean you should accelerate the process.

Changes are probable, it´s already tested with lab rats. If they would cause cancer, they would share these results coming from these scientific studies.
This is plausible, would you not agree? Or are you a conspiracy theorist?

But hey, believe whoever you want. Ha, ha. It´s your life.
