Having mulled this over the weekend that 'sexactly the conclusion I came to. Good to have the logical, reality response here, though.

Have a look at the official Public Health England website here https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/electromagnetic-fields

In summary it says that yes we are exposed to all sorts of artificial electromagnetic fields but as far as they can assess the energy levels of most of these field is too low to have any long lasting effects. Of course it could be a conspiracy but what is in dispute is what the safe level is and how far we should err on caution but for most people most of the time this is a purely theoretical argument.
