Linkbait: It's not just for kids! Sometimes, respected scientists get into the act.

I'm impressed, though -- this is a much better article than the title would suggest. It does a good job of running down the evidence that this guy is being hysterical for no good reason. All the old data -- and there's quite a lot of it -- is inconclusive, and there's no new data:

Herberman is basing his alarm on early unpublished data. He says it takes too long to get answers from science and he believes people should take action now - especially when it comes to children.

"Early, unpublished data." Perhaps we should also design some cold-fusion power packs for our children.

Interesting how it's only the answers that agree with this guy's gut feeling that take such a long time to be found by science.
