Bluetooth Devices - Help or Hurt?

Quite often I see and hear about people using blue tooth devices, often in the proximity of their heads. They have earpieces that you can connect to blue tooth so you can hold your phone without hands, earbuds that you can connect wirelessly via blue tooth, not to mention the vast array of new virtual reality devices that communicate via blue tooth. And it has to then pose the question, could so many radio signals and blue tooth signals be harmful to us in the long run? Bluetooth devices emit radio signals and others of the like, which essentially means that you are placing yourself in the midst of a field of microwave radiation.

Which, obviously, doesn't make you any smarter - but can it hurt you instead? Research shows that having that many radio waves around your head can, after long periods of time, lead to detrimental side effects - such as cancer, leukemia, Alzheimers, and other autoimmune disorders, as well as giving birth defects and sometimes even miscarriages in their descendants. They also can lead to biological side effects, such as blindness, deafness, and brain tumors. While these side effects are obviously a result of long term exposure, even short term exposure can be dangerous, giving things such as head aches and neck pain. Although they may have a huge benefit to people, overuse of and dependence on these devices is truly dangerous, and can be damaging in the long run.
