Tests with mice show that cell phone radiation causes ADHD in unborn mice. Here is a test report from the researchers at Yale:

This looks really serious as the rise of behavioral disorders can be due to fetal exposure to cell phones.
What do you think? Should cell phones be avoided as much as possible?

research says something and in a week time they change it, like they said cocoa is not good for your health now they says its good, and a lot of things like that, so really i dont trust science a lot i do what i think is good or not, thats why we have minds

I think we have to do some research ourselves and also see, who has paid for the research.
If the mobile companies have paid for doing research on how we are affected by mobile phones, and they say that the phones are not dangerous, we should maybe like to check what a neutral research company is saying.
Yes, the cocoa is good, but the sugar that follows it may be the harmful part..

I very much doubt we are going to get young people to give up their cell phones.
I can't begin to tell you the number of times we've seen people walk into a store on the phone, talking the whole trip and checking out while still talking!
Makes you wonder what they would've done 30 years ago? did they or would've they have stayed home to talk on the phone (that was chained to the wall I might add!)

Maybe they are talking to the person they are helping with the shopping.
Many years ago I had no phone and if I wanted to use a phone, I went to a phone box and put in some money and called. I guess we would have very little calling if we had to use a phone box..

I doubt it from what I've been unfortunate enough to over hear, they are just yakking... The roomie got a cell because we kept getting separated in the store and needed to find each other and I have heard people that call about what exactly was wanted, but this is different.
Now, for a short time, a few years when I was younger (late 1970's) we didn't have a phone, but now I have both a landline and my cell.
In fact, all 4 of us have cells besides the landline - but the landline is needed for the roomie to do her job.

It is often heard that the radiation of cellphone harms the health of human beings. For unborn children are extremely weak, such harm maybe more serious. But until now I never see an authoritative official report which confirms such harm. Since there exists such possibilities, we'd better take it seriously. But I don't agree that cellphones should be avoided as much as possible. The truth is that most of us could not live without cellphones. What we need to consider is how to use cellphones properly.

I hope someone invents a type of cellphone that is not harmful for anyone, but maybe I am asking for too much..
It is hard to change back to the old fashioned way, but in some cases it can be the best way.

Yes, it is better use a landline for those who are pregnant to not harm the very sensitive baby.
I hope someone invents a healthy mobile phone..

Thanks for sharing such an important information . Like many improved technologies cellphones have negative aspect as well . I think it is more often misused . If it is so harmful then pregnant mothers should avoid it for sure . Life and its healthy existence is more important than staying connected .

In many cases the oldfashioned landline may be a good solution.
The cellphones are very practical but many of us use them for only short calls or use the speaker function to not have them too close.
We donĀ“t know yet what the technology will do for us, as many things that are invented become popular before we know everything about them.

Yes i agree that cell phones should be avoided as much to people who are pregnant, so as to prevent behavioral disorders, so try to reduce the unnecessary calls or even whole a phone. Get your husband to do so for you :)

I think everyone should limit cellphones and only use them for emergency and short calls.
Also use the speaker function so that the phone can be on some distance to avoid the radiation.
And pregnant women should avoid these phones completely. Why not use a landline phone?

I think that as useful as cell phones are that we should keep them away from the bodies of young children. I have a wonderful device for mine, too, that keeps the phone itself away from my head. I plug into the audio jack an accessory that looks and feels exactly like the handset of an old fashioned phone. They are called retro handsets and they come with stands, too, and in all kinds of wonderful colors. I have a white one and a pink one and a purple one. It is much easier to hear and be heard through the retro device. It is not hands free, but I personally don't like to multi-task on the phone. I like the comfort and convenience of a traditional handset.

There are many kinds of extra equpments to cell phones. I used a small thing that I put into the ear but then I read that it is even mor dangerous than the phone, so now I use the speaker most of the time and keep the phone a foot or more from myself.
I read about a thing we can use to eliminate the radiation, but am not sure it is available here..
I like the idea to go back in time and use something like an old fashioned phone.. I hope it eliminates the radiation too..
