ADEREMI'S NOTEBOOK

Mobile Phone affects sperm count

A research published/presented in Berlin has shown that carrying a mobile phone in your wallet can reduce your sperm count by almost 30%.

The Hungarian study is the first to look at how electromagnetic radiation from mobiles could affect sperm. The men who had their phone on standby throughout the day had about a third less sperm than those who did not. And, of the remaining sperm, high numbers were found to be swimming abnormally, reducing the chances of fertilisation.

The researchers say their findings suggest that mobiles do have a “negative effect” on male sperm and fertility.

I guess if you decided to carry the mobile phone in your breast pocket instead, your heart is not exactly safe.

I can see the next mobile phone fad already: lead-padded mobile phone cases! Titanium is soooo old-fashioned now.

Well i imagine that lead-padded mobile phones might be too heavy and may cause its own health concerns.
