I'm not a cellphone user. (Ok, I have one, but it sits in my purse turned off, and is used only for "emergencies" etc.) But even I, upon reading this headline: Prenatal Cell Phone Exposure Tied to Behavior was concerned. Until, that is, I reached the end of the article where it states: "Another possible explanation for the observed association might be the lack of attention given to a child by mothers who are frequent users of cell phones," the researchers suggest. They note that mothers who used cell phones frequently were of lower socio-occupational status, more likely to have mental health and psychiatric problems, and more likely to have smoked while they were pregnant."
