Is it true that Bluetooth Headphones/ headsets carry a Risk of cancer?

Since I am going to get one in a week or so as a gift from my uncle.

Though I voted 'B' I'm no authority on this topic. However, this may help www.vxicorp.com/.../bluetooth-technology-may-be-good-for-your-health

I searched this out now but I started using a bluetooth headset on my phone years ago when I realized the phone used to get hot on my ear while talking especially Motorola handsets and then came the 'cancer from cell phone radiation' idea where again I saw a Bluetooth device when not on speaker as safe to keep the phone a distance away from me. To be scared of something one can even be scared of living in an apartment with the fear of a collapsing building or driving or crossing a street :)

This will give us an idea about Bluetooth technology hopefully www.bluetooth.com/.../...bluetooth-technology.aspx

You'll find scaremongers on the internet who claim every thing in the world gives you cancer.

The truth is, bluetooth is perfectly safe.

No. Bluetooth radios are quite weak (intentionally low-powered to minimize battery usage), which is why the max range is only about 30 feet. You get more RF exposure just standing outside. Do you have ANY idea how much RF there is around you?

No, cell phones use Microwaves, these in mass quantity move water molecules and can hurt us, but the signals are small. If Bluetooth emitted gamma rays or x rays we would all be dying left and right.
