Can a Bluetooth headset save your life?

Bluetooth Headsets,
Do you need another reason to start using a Bluetooth headset?
California may be on to something.
Since the California law went into effect in June requiring drivers to use Bluetooth headsets, police have been handing out tickets because they are trying to save your life.
Yes, they are showing you that you need to pay attention to driving as opposed to wrapping your car around a tree or swerving into oncoming traffic, but did you know that this law is actually two-fold?
The University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute indicates that it may be a good idea to limit your use of a cell phone because you may suffer the possibility of a tumor.
According to the institute:
The risk of brain cancer from cell phone use is low, Dr. Herberman says. But there might be a connection between cell phone use and tumors that strike a salivary gland near the ear and the intersection of the ear and the brain. For that reason, Dr. Herberman believes that children should use cell phones only for emergencies --- and that it's best for adults not to press their cell phones against their heads.
Their solution to the problem? Based on the article at The Huffington Post, they recommend Bluetooth headsets.
The cops may not be aware that they are truly saving your life from not just traffic problems with your cell phone, but also from developing a tumor.
They also mention three recommended Bluetooth headsets, which are exceptional choices. Those products are listed below as well to compare prices.
I can remember as long as 10 years ago where people were conducting research as to whether cell phones cause brain cancer.
So, I still think it may be a good idea to the listen to the doctors. Why tempt fate?
