people stop talking and start doing


Spending hours on a cell phone each day may affect the quality of a man’s sperm, preliminary research suggests.

In a study of 361 men seen at their infertility clinic, researchers at the Cleveland Clinic found an association between the patients’ cell phone use and their sperm quality.

On average, the more hours the men spent on their cell phones each day, the lower their sperm count and the greater their percentage of abnormal sperm.

The findings, published in the journal Fertility and Sterility, add to questions about the potential health effects of cell phones and other wireless devices. Some studies, for example, have linked long-term cell phone use to a higher risk of brain tumors, though many other studies have found no such connection.

The concern is that, over time, the electromagnetic energy emitted from mobile phones could theoretically harm body tissue – by damaging DNA, for example.

However, the new findings do not prove that cell phones somehow damage sperm, according to the researchers.

“Our results show a strong association of cell phone use with decreased semen quality. However, they do not prove a cause-and- effect relationship,” lead researcher Dr. Ashok Agarwal told Reuters Health.

He and his colleagues based their findings on semen samples from 361 men who came to their infertility clinic over one year. All of the men were questioned about their cell phone habits.


maybe people need to put down the phone and the texting and actually get together and talk , or do what ever people do..

Good that you mentioned. Now I need to go to a lab and have mine checked. They have been swimming straight, but one never know when they'll start swimming in circles. For better publicity, you may wish to submit the sperm 50m dash as a new swimming event for the Beijing Olympics.

I see people all the time with cell phone guled to their ear.. and now many walk around with the bluetooth thing clamped on their ear.. all during their waking hours... and no one is that busy nor that important.. it's almost funny... use the thing when you need it, and not let it become the centerpiece of your life..

I remember the first cell phone, the big box type, and the carry around in your hand with a handle on it.. I knew friends who bought it, and when those $1,000 bills started coming, they canned it quickly.. and had a mark on their credit because they could not understand why they should pay so much for talk they'd already finished doing..

but now people just talk because they have it, and you go places and hear a thousand different tones of songs and stuff going off every 10 seconds...
but the good thing is that people are communicating ... maybe that's the biggest matter about the phone.. but maybe people may think about actually getting together and actually talk face to face..
