There are two things out there. Electric fields and magnetic fields. "Lining" something with foil does not necessarily attenuate either of them.
I just learned a new word... so I'll share:

at·ten·u·ate:

1. To make slender, fine, or small: The drought attenuated the river to a narrow channel.
2. To reduce in force, value, amount, or degree; weaken: Medicine attentuated the fever's effect.
3. To lessen the density of; rarefy.
4. Biology. To make (bacteria or viruses) less virulent.
5. Electronics. To reduce (the amplitude of an electrical signal) with little or no distortion.

As far as direct injury from cell phone use, look up a company called Remcom. They're pretty much proven that the heating to brain tissue from cell phone a antenna is negligible, and can be nearly avoided if you don't mash the phone into your head when using it (ie keeping 1/2" gap).

Test funded by Motorolla or Nokia?
