Protecting Baby From Cell Phones; The lastest from Kiwi Land

A NZ man has developed clothing designed to shield foetuses from cellphones and electrical appliances, but scientists say there's no proof such shields are necessary.

Neil Bullock developed the MummyWrap, a sleeveless, loose-fitting garment for pregnant women made from a light-weight copper-based cotton fabric known as Swiss Shield.

Mr Bullock said there was "mounting concern" about the effects on developing babies of what he called "electrosmog" - the electro-magnetic radiation (EMR) generated by microwave ovens, TVs, computers and wireless communications including cellphones.

"There's a lot of concern worldwide about electro-magnetic radiation and we can't get away from electronics - it's invasive and it's all around us," Mr Bullock said.

Me? I'm happy with my TalkSafe.
