Pregnant Women Who Use Cell Phone 2-3x Day Associated With Increased Behavioral Problems in Offspring.

In a study of over 13,000 children, incidence of emotional symptoms, behavioral problems, inattention, hyperactivity and problems with peers increased by 54% with mothers use of cell phones, and by 80% when the children, at the age of seven, used cell phones themselves.

In May 2008, the UCLA School of Public Health announced a first of its kind study that found a possible link between cell phone exposure and behavioral problems in young children, urging additional research. In research conducted with University of Aarhus, Institute of Public Health in Denmark, they found “Children who were exposed to cell phones before and/or after birth tended to have higher prevalence of emotional symptoms, behavioral problems, inattention, hyperactivity and problems with peers. When looking at the combined use of cell phones during pregnancy and in childhood, children were 80 percent more likely to have behavioral problems compared to children who do not use a cell phone and whose mothers did not use cell phones during pregnancy. When looking at cell phone use during pregnancy alone and not during childhood, children were 54 percent more likely to have behavioral problems. ”

From the article itself:

“These results were unexpected and should be interpreted cautiously,” say Drs. Leeka Kheifets and Jørn Olsen, study authors of the paper. “We do not know how this use could cause behavioral problems, and the association between these two factors could turn out to be unfounded. On the other hand, if cell phone use early in life has impact on brain functions, it should be seen as a public health concern.”

"But the investigators make clear that these observed associations may be caused by other factors than cell phone use and that further study is necessary."

Unfortunately, just because they can't explain 'how' cell phone use while pregnant would do this, doesn't exactly mean it doesn't. It just shows that they don't understand something vital about human existence.

And could you imagine the hysteria if it ever did hit the media that these techologies were unsafe? - (not that it hasn't already - there are plenty of doctors out there saying the evidence is already there.)
