    If I understood what he meant by 'polarization', then think of water which is neutral, yet dipolar.

    Uh, wait a second, water is not an ion, water is a molecule that consists of several atoms, now atoms can be positive or negative and then they are called ions. Basically putting a cellphone to your head heats your head up because the electromagnetic field affects the water in your body, just like a microwave oven, only weaker and on a different frequency but I read about up to 1°C more temperature. Whether this effect is unhealthy or not I do not allow myself to judge, the heat shouldn't be since the summer also heats me up as does a fever, too much of it is bad as we all know of course.
    Then again, is there anything that does NOT cause cancer?

    And in other, related news, they found that very high doses of vitamin C would actually reduce the amount of cancer cells in mice or rats, which sounds similar to what a certain Dr. Rath has been saying for years but he was dismissed as a junk scientist.
    I'm curious where this ends.

    Yes, I said it was neutral. Molecules can also be ions. If the electron(s) are pulled more in one direction than others, the molecule/atom will have a slightly different charge depending on which side you approach it; as is the case with water molecules.
