Explaining Kids' Hyperactivity

Here's an odd report that comes out of England.  Does it mean that pregnant women must add Cell Phones to the list of things they can't use? Perhaps.  

In a nutshell, the suprised researchers found that cell phone usage while pregnant leads to hperactivity wwhen the kids are born.  Specific results:

  • Mothers who did use the handsets were 54 per cent more likely to have children with behavioural problems
  • The likelihood increased with the amount of potential exposure to the radiation.
  • When the children also later used the phones they were, overall, 80 per cent more likely to suffer from difficulties with behaviour.
    • They were 25 per cent more at risk from emotional problems.
    • 34 per cent more likely to suffer from difficulties relating to their peers.
    • 35 per cent more likely to be hyperactive.
    • 49 per cent more prone to problems with conduct.

So if your kid is hyper - don't blame them....it sounds like it's your fault :)  Can't wait to see the first lawsuit to come from this....
