Here is an interesting article:::

Supposedly, phone use places undeveloped babies at risk.--Please try to explain this to me?!
Researchers from the University of California and the University of Aarhus Denmark surveyed over 13,000 women who had given birth in Denmark in the late 1990's about their mobile phone use habits while pregnant and their children's use up until the age of 7. But considering the fact that it was done in the late 1990's, mobile phone use wasn't very popular and very infrequent.
Stats say that women who used handsets two or three times per day while pregnant were 54 percent more likely to give birth to children who developed behavioral problems by the time they reached school age than women who did not use them.-- Personally I do not see the connection as to how cell phone use could really cause that much of a difference. What is so different from the use of house phones, or listening to music, being around computers and laptops?
The article then states a hundred(exaggeration) statistics about the use of children using mobile phones and how it relates to behavioral problems especially if and when the use of the technology was frequent.
However the researchers urged that their results "should be interpreted with caution." They also suggested that there might be some correlation between cellular phone use and some other factor that leads to behavioral difficulties such as neglect by a mother.
My question is what is the point of this article and the statistics if there is really no true proof that cell phones are causing these 'problems.'
