CELL PHONES DAMAGE SPERM

A recent study published in the International Journal of Andrology (authors Aitken et al., June 2005) found that exposure to cell phone radiation caused DNA damage in the sperm of rats. This and similar studies raise concern over the carrying of cell phones in pockets or on belts, especially for males.
