Hmmm…so if it can affect the behavioral patterns of a growing foetus just by calling your loved ones and friends ONLY 3 TIMES a day…and being at least half a meter away from the offending device, what about the behavioural problems mobile phones cause to children, adolescents and adults who have their ears ( and just behind their ears their brains ) glued to the damn thing morning, noon and night ? That would seem to be equally important, potentially more damaging and definitely worth warning everyone too !!! I Guess unborn babies don’t pay phone bills…so that makes it OK to publish this stuff…!!!

I’m not buying this one. I do have two children with developmental issues, and with one I NEVER used a cell (didn’t even own one) and with the other it was rare. This is the same freakout that occurred over microwave ovens. I’m more concerned about the power lines all over my yard that the kids are exposed to constantly than my cell.

While this is certainly a huge deal if indeed cell phone radiation is harmful, It is worth highlighting that the scientists…
“…add that there might be other possible explanations that they did not examine – such as that mothers who used the phones frequently might pay less attention to their children – and stress that the results “should be interpreted with caution” and checked by further studies.”
