Cell phones bad for babies

Just on the news...

Pregnant women who talk on the cell phone just 2-3 times a day can increase the babies risk of hyper activity. The same thing goes for kids who use cell phones before the age of 7.

I can't find the link yet on the web.

This is very scary!

I heard this too and I wonder if it's the cell phones itself, or if it's stressed out moms who can't be off their phones for a minute.

Well if it's on the news, it must be true.

They say that the lack of bee populations is also linked to cell phones.

The baby story was on ABC news.

Here's one link.
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Reprodu...4890097&page=1

...of course this story plays it down more than the one they had on TV.

I've heard or read about the bees too.There have been large numbers of bees disappearing and one theory is that the radiation from cell phones and other high tech equipment interferes with their natural radar/internal navigation system so they can't find their home hives.
