Why Johnny Can't Read

In another study, conducted by the Spanish Neuro Diagnostic Research
Institute, it was found that a cell phone call lasting only two minutes
not only opens the blood-brain barrier (in children and adults) allowing
toxins into the blood stream which can attack brain cells, but in
children that same two minute exposure could disrupt the natural
electrical activity of their brain for up to an hour following the call.
So alarming was the data that Dr. Gerald Hyland, mobile phone adviser to
the British Government, was quoted as saying "If I were a parent I would
now be extremely wary about allowing my children to use a mobile even
for a very short period. My advice would be to avoid mobiles."
The cell phone industry is targeting the very profitable children's
market. Cell phone makers are marketing "Disney phones" and kid-friendly
versions with parental controls. The industry is no longer content to
have the adult and teen market, but in nationwide back-to-school
campaigns, they aggressively market to tweens and younger.
We may not have all of the answers today, but the information we do have
is alarming. How much more evidence do we need before we take the
dangers to our children seriously?
