Is your husband's cell phone lowering his sperm count?

Cell phones have been accused of causing brain tumors, hearing loss, even making you look older, and now we can add one more thing to the list. Researchers who have been looking at the effect of electromagnetic waves of sperm cells and have had some interesting results. In the group of men studied, as reported cell phone use increased, the number and quality of their sperm went down.

Before you ban your man from using his mobile, keep in mind that these results are very, very preliminary. To quote one author, "We are not saying that mobile phones affect fertility." More research needs to be done before anyone can definitively what these results mean.
