While expert opinion is still split on the harmful effects of prolonged cell phone use on the human body, a growing number of studies is indicating the exact opposite, identifying a connection between cell phone radiation and male infertility or breast cancer and other diseases.
Leading health organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO) insist that the radio-frequency microwave spectrum used in cell phone communication or proximity to cell phone towers poses no health risks whatsoever, because the amount of radiation is minimal and therefore unlikely to cause any damage. Recent studies however seem to differ.
Research conducted in Israel by Technion University in Haifa Professor Martha Dirnfeld and other fertility experts indicated that using mobile phones for as little as one hour per day can lower sperm levels significantly.
Keeping a mobile phone close to the testicles or within two feet of the body, as well as speaking on the phone while it is charging can lower the sperm count so that conceiving may become a problem. The findings were published in the journal Reproductive Biomedicine Online.
Similar results were reported by the Center for Reproductive Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic a few years ago. Their study demonstrated that keeping a mobile phone in talk mode in a pocket or otherwise in close proximity to the testicles can decrease sperm quality. Full story...
