Default Mobile Cell Phones Decrease Sperm Counts and Function!!!

Mobile Cell Phones Decrease Sperm Counts and Function!!!

Very scary stuff....


"Specifically, men who use mobiles for four hours or more a day have an increased risk of infertility. Experiments found that such men had fewer sperm. Not only that, but those sperm weren’t as sprightly as they should be; they were punier and didn’t move about as they normally would."

On the face of it, the research for the American Society For Reproductive Medicine in Los Angeles stands up. Some 364 men were looked at. Those with the heaviest mobile phone use had the lowest sperm counts. Those who said they never used mobiles had the highest and their sperm was of the highest quality.

Dr Ashok Agarwal, who led the research, warned that mobiles could be having a devastating effect on fertility. People are now using mobiles in the same casual manner as they use a toothbrush, without considering the possible consequences, he said. “It still has to be proved, but it could be having a huge impact because mobiles are so much part of lives.”

Dr Agarwal suggests the problem could be occurring a t a much more fundamental level in the human body; the mobile phone radiation could actually be damaging the user’s DNA, which in turn would affect the cells in the testes.

In the meantime, the technology keeps on changing and becoming more and more hi-tech. 3G phones are said to emit higher levels of radiation than earlier models, and technology continues to provide us with higher spec phones all the time.

Agarwal presented the study in a poster session at the 62nd annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in New Orleans.
