Should Pregnant Women Avoid Using Cell Phones?

Posted By Dr. Mercola | February 03 2012 | 1166 views

A new study sought to evaluate the intensity of oxidative stress and the levels of neurotransmitters in the brains of fetal rats chronically exposed to radiation from to cell phones. Four groups of pregnant rats were exposed to different intensities of cell phone microwave radiation -- one group that was left unexposed, and three groups that were irradiated three times daily for either 10, 30, or 60 minutes at a time.

After three weeks, the fetal rats were examined for changes in their brains.  All of the irradiated groups exhibited significant neurological differences.

According to the study, as reprinted on the website Green Med Info:

“Through this study, we concluded that receiving a certain period of microwave radiation from cellular phones during pregnancy has certain harm on fetal rat brains.”
