Pregnant? Put that cell phone down!

According to a recently published study by a UCLA researcher, women using cell phones while pregnant may cause damage to a developing child. The study has shown that the regular use of cell phones by pregnant women increases the likelihood that the developing child will suffer from behavioral problems. Studies linking autism to cell phone use have shown that rates of autism have increased concurrently to the increased use of the devices. The studies also suggest that EMR (electromagnetic radiation) from wireless devices coupled with environmental and genetic factors may increase the chance of autism.
