Autism and cell phones: A connection?

Posted on Nov 28th 2007 8:24PM by Martha Edwards
Autism is a condition that has skyrocketed in children in recent years, and it's baffled researchers ever since. What's the cause? More importantly, how do we prevent it? Recent studies are pointing the finger at a widely-used technology: the cell phone. Well, not just cell phones -- cell towers, Wi-Fi and other mobile devices.

The key component of wireless devices that is thought to affect autism is the EMR (electromagnetic radiation) they transmit. Recent research has shown that it can negatively affect cell membranes, and this can cause heavy metal toxins to build up in the body. So, it's thought that these heavy metal toxins can get trapped inside nerve cells, which can lead to Autism. For more info, click here.

Cell phones have been linked to several health problems in the past. What do you think -- is it a case of hyperactive worry or are they really ruining our health?
