Paranoid anti-technology individuals have one more strike against their beliefs as a recent study debunks the connection between cellphone usage and cancer.

A major new study of Danish cell phone users finds no increased risk of tumors or leukemia in subscribers. In fact, owning a cell phone can actually be correlated with lower rates of certain cancers—if you’re a man.

The study, which appeared today in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, used a group of 420,095 Danes for the study. All of them first began subscribing to cellular phone service between 1982 and 1995, and the study examines their cancer rates through 2002. This was made easier by the fact that Denmark maintains a national cancer registry on every person who gets the disease. Researchers obtained access to cell phone subscription data, then used the names and addresses of subscribers to find out which of them later came down with cancer.

A reputable and believable case study? You decide. Now it’s time to debunk the idea that Bluetooth usage increases brain cancer. If it’s not one thing, there’s almost always something else to debunk.
