Warning: Using a mobile phone while pregnant can seriously damage your baby

I gotta think this is another example of mistaken correlation and causation. Maybe parents who are addicted to cell-phones aren't good at discipline or maybe encourage ADD-like behaviors?

    That's the trick with so many studies, how do you account for all of the possibilities? Correlation and causation are easy to conflate, yet if cell phones weren't in massive use at the time then it seems likely that those who were using them would have been leading more frenetic lifestyles to start with and that could in turn cause these issues. I'd be interested in seeing studies that can tell us more specifically about radiation and brain chemistry...not just symptoms but something that can relate to direct cause.
