New Study Suggests Mobile Phones May Harm Sperm Counts

Fear of brain tumors may not scare off many mobile phone users, but will decreased fertility? A new study coming out of Hungary suggests that heavy mobile phone use and/or carrying around a phone in your pants pockets may do damage to a man's sperm. Of course, just like every other study on the health effects of mobile phone radiation, this one is being disputed (loudly) by those who question the study's methods and point out that other studies disagree.

    Heres a thought! If we cant get some countries to endorse the use of contraceptives as a way to control the population explosion...lets just give everyone a cell phone and encourage them to carry it at all times. Solve 2 problems at once.
