I remember I read an article on this several years ago, and it claimed that while their study could not prove that people who use cell phones are more likely to have a tumor, it did show that if a person used a cell phone AND he/she had a tumor, then the tumor was more likely to be in the right half of the brain if the person used to hold the cell phone in the right hand as he/she was talking, and in the left half in the person held the cell phone in the left hand. Have you heard about such correlation?

PS: I don't recall now if the study explored if lefties/righties are generally more likely to have tumor in different parts of the brain - but I'd think that should be known anyway.
