Cell Phone Use During Pregnancy Can cause Behavioral Disorders in Babies

If you’re pregnant, then this is certainly the news for YOU!
Navtej Kohli Medical blogs breaks another odd bit of news…
Women who use mobile phones when pregnant are more likely to give birth to children with behavioral problems.
A giant study examined more than 13,000 children, and found that using the handsets just two or three times a day was enough to raise the risk of their babies developing hyperactivity and difficulties with conduct, emotions and relationships by the time they reached school age.
The likelihood is even greater if the children themselves used the phones before the age of seven.
The results of the study took the top scientists who conducted it by surprise. The research will carry particular weight because one of its authors, UCLA’s Professor Leeka Kheifets, had previously been skeptical that mobile phones could pose a risk to health.
