When I first saw this story last night, I was sure that by this morning I'd be hearing a flood of doctors and researchers debunking it or saying no one should be changing their behavior on the basis of this study.
On the contrary, today it's being taken very seriously. There are questions--are the effects really because of radiation or because of other factors as yet untested? In any case it's going to be very interesting to see how it plays out; when behaviors are very entrenched there's usually a concerted effort to make them "okay" rather than change the behavior. If I were still having babies I'd have a very hard time with this one, but I don't think I could ignore it, either.
So...stay tuned.
