Cell Phones and
Infertility in Men
He says" The electro-magnetic waves... those are the waves that are transmitted from these.. cell phones that are currently much more powerful than we had in the past."
"If you look at the phones that you carry now that are capable of doing internet browsing... and high end internet activities, that comes at a price. And that is an increase in frequency also an increase in electro-magnetic waves. Which we know in animal models can cause damage to the brain."
The reporter stated "It said in the report that it depends on where you carry it also, What does that mean?
Dr Natan " That most people carry their cell phones in their pocket, and for men that is quite close to where sperm is being produced."
"The electro-magnetic wave injury can come from the direct damage to the DNA from these waves. Or...by a thermal effect."
The reporter asked "How long do you have to be carrying a phone.... or how many hours a day for it to impact a mans sperm count?"
Dr Natan " We don't know....this is really the first study to shown that prolonged useage as they defined is greater than four hours per day. Could have an effect on concentration.....
Reporter asked " Does this mean being on the phone or just having it on?
Dr Natan " That is a good question.... We don't know...The data questioned these individuals and they reported using the phone for that period of time.
Now that didin't take into account where the phone was located or what type of phone they were using.
