Cell Phones Could Make Men Infertile
Men, who keep a mobile phone in their trouser pocket, could be affected with male fertility, according to a new study led by the University of Exeter.
A team led by Dr Fiona Mathews, of Biosciences at the University of Exeter, conducted a systematic review of the findings from ten studies, including 1,492 samples, with the aim of clarifying the potential role of this environmental exposure.
The researchers found that this proportion fell by an average of 8 percentage points when there was exposure to mobile phones and similar effects were seen for sperm viability. The effects on sperm concentration were less clear.Dr. Mathews said that given the massive scale of mobile phone use around the world, the potential role of this environmental exposure needs to be clarified.
Dr. Mathews asserted that this study strongly suggested that being exposed to radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation from carrying mobiles in trouser pockets negatively affects sperm quality.

The research is not conclusive but the title is but an assumption. Best experiment would be: I have been currying phones in my pocket for 14yrs. Give me 8 fertile women for a month of research & look at them 2 months later, they will not be eating butter, Kapenta. They will be calling me ON CELL PHONES for yogurt, pawpaw

True! But every situation has always positive and side effects.
Extreme use of phone and poor diet will prove the research positive.
More, the infertility is temporary because sperms are consistently being replaced and used by the body.
