New technology has always sparked new health fears, but when The New York Times published an article entitled The Health Concerns in Wearable Tech by writer Nick Belton in the papers Styles section on March 18, 2015, the respected newspaper hit a collective nerve. To say that the article stirred up controversy will be an understatement. However, the big question remains: Can smart watches cause cancer? Hidden Dangers? Right away, well-seen publications from The Washington Post to Business Insider to The Verge called The New York Times out on sensationalist journalism, moving from junk science as truth, utilizing a headline to click, and causing problems where none exist.

The Washington Post also pointed to this study on the American National Cancer Institute web site, which explicitly states that most research has found no association between using mobile phones and the onset of cancer. Therefore, case closed, right? Not so fast. Cellular Concerns - As we said in the first sentence, new technology has always sparked health fears, and smart watches represent some of the latest technology around. Like the avalanche-like controversies surrounding vaccines and genetically engineered foods, the fear of the unknown is strong with regards to wearing or using strong communication devices close to our bodies. There's also the concern that we do not always know that something we're doing is harmful until it starts harming us. For instance, for the first two-thirds of the Twentieth Century, cigarettes were considered harmless, their true health implications weren't revealed until smokers started dying of cancer of the lung, and even then, cigarette companies tried mightily to suppress the truth.

Is that what's happening with mobile cell phones and smart watches? The answer is that we probably won't know for some time and that's frightening to many people. There are also studies that do link exposure to RF radiation from mobile cell phones to tumors, which keeps concerns high.
