Pretty sure this is complete B.S considering the view of talking on the phone millenials and younger have. Like, there are literal memes about one being horrified and the sound of a phone ringing, which to me seems like a good indicator that we're talking less on the phone, so why would brain tumors increase?

I tried to find some statistics on Google, the statistics are all over the place but they all still show far far higher rates of making voice calls than I would have predicted (numbers look something like: 20% of time on phone spent talking, 1 hour a day spent talking, average 10 calls per day, even for teens - for the last stat, teens made more calls than anyone)

While there may be less calls made overall, one thing to consider is that more calls may be being made by mobile phones rather than by landlines, which are increasingly replaced by mobile phones.
