The article you posted does not support your assertion.
It DOES state these concerns do express [which is widely known]
It DOES state that, thus far, there is no data to support the assertions that cell phone radiation causes tumors or cancer.
It DOES present ways of lowering your exposure to RF radiation.
I am NOT saying that the concerns are invalid but there are many causes of cancer in our society, but if there is a smoking gun in that article, I cannot find it.
Folk's like you puzzle me. It seems that you'd rather tear down what you can't add to.

Wonder why?
Did you ever read "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"? It might be a good one for you. So might "Chicken Little"

If you want to make a point you should go to the effort of finding credible material to support it. You started the thread. The problem I have with people championing a cause and bumbling it is that the cause may actually be valid but people become so used to hearing the rhetoric that when the real data comes in, their ears are deaf.
I have repeatedly acknowledged there may be health issues associated with the things. The jury seems still "out" though. It is not "tearing down" to point out unsubstantiated claims. Truth is truth.

ewg.com has some very interesting information about cellphone radiation and it also lists phones by their level of radiation. IMHO ewg.com seems like a credible source.
The video you posted was a commercial for a bluetooth headset. As for cancer: Cellular Telephone Use and Cancer Risk - National Cancer Institute
concludes there is no danger but more research is needed. Of course scientists think more research is needed; that is how they make their living. Sheesh.
What is more likely is that using the phone while walking or driving will result in serious injury due to your distraction.
Like the alleged link between mercury and vaccines and autism, this one will never go away. What about the dangers of saccharine??

Ugh. I wish people would educate themselves more. EVERY DAY you have EM Radiation going through your body. EVERY. DAY. Visible light is EM Radiation...stronger than Microwave radiation, of which Cell Phones, Radars, Wifi, etc. use the lowest end of the spectrum (near radio waves), and microwave ovens use the highest end (near far infrared).
Radiation is simply the transfer of energy through waves/space.
What gives people cancer is direct exposure to ultrashortwaves or ultra high frequency waves (same thing). These are Ultraviolet rays (requires a long period of excessive exposure), X Rays (requires a shorter period of exposure, which is why you get protection when you get X Rayed by your doctor/dentist), Gamma Rays (one-time exposure can lead to severe health effects and sometimes death...these are the products of nuclear fission), and Cosmic/High energy Gamma Rays (can kill you on the spot).
