But that's only when you talk to someone on the phone, right?

Nah, your cellphone is always receiving and sending frequencies unless it's off, that's why it's not recommended to sleep with your phone next to you.

Actually, diet soda is one of the safest things you can drink. Aspartame is such a controversial substance that, in the 40+ years it has been around, there have been a ridiculous number of clinical trials to try to link it to all sorts of diseases, and still not a single link has been established. A small handful out of the 600+ studies have discovered possible negative health consequences, but these findings have not been substantiated in any other trials.

Hmm, an interesting quote from the report....

At the end of the 2-year study, survival was lower in the control group of males than in all
groups of male rats exposed to GSM-modulated RFR. Survival was also slightly lower in control
females than in females exposed to 1.5 or 6 W/kg GSM-modulated RFR. In rats exposed to
CDMA-modulated RFR, survival was higher in all groups of exposed males and in the 6 W/kg
females compared to controls.

CONCLUSIONS
Under the conditions of these 2-year studies, the hyperplastic lesions and glial cell neoplasms of
the heart and brain observed in male rats are considered likely the result of whole-body
exposures to GSM- or CDMA-modulated RFR. There is higher confidence in the association
between RFR exposure and the neoplastic lesions in the heart than in the brain. No biologically
significant effects were observed in the brain or heart of female rats regardless of modulation.

I think this will need more studies. Drawing statistics from the 2 or 3 rats out of 90 that developed the conditions isnt sufficient evidence to start a widescale panic. Especially when female rats were apparently immune to the effects for no discernible reason.
