    Default Studies Find that Chemicals and Mobile Phones Cause Low Sperm Count

    Young Danes' sperm count dips

    By environment correspondent Alex Kirby

    Almost half of 700 Danish army recruits have been found to have sperm counts low enough to make it hard for them to father children.

    The recruits, aged from 18 to 20, had significantly lower counts than men in another sample born about 10 years earlier...
    Mobiles cut sperm count, says report

    Sarah Boseley in Berlin
    Monday June 28, 2004

    Men who carry mobile phones in their trouser pockets may be at risk of damaging their sperm count, according to research by Hungarian scientists...
    Chemical exposure tied to sperm count:
    Substance found in cosmetics, plastics can be measured in urine

    In a study of the possible association between phthalate exposure and human semen quality, researchers at the School of Public Health's (SPH) Occupational Health Program have found an association between select phthalates and low sperm count, low sperm motility, and an increased percent of abnormally shaped sperm among a group of men from couples seeking treatment at a fertility clinic in Boston. Low sperm count, low motility, and abnormal sperm morphology can affect the likelihood of conception but do not mean that a man is infertile...
    If these reports are true, then we better take care of our future generation.
    Wooooo!!!

    The amazing bit is that army recruits are tested for sperm count. Who knew it affected marksmanship?

    Yeah.. I say we send lots of mobilephones with extra strong radiation to Africa, and make big politics out of it.

    Where the else are we meant to carry our damn phones?!
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    Dammit, I guess I'll have to stop keeping my phone in my underwear. Shame, it was a real hit with the ladies too.

    You actually go that far to make your package look bigger? Plus what if it's your mom, hope you don't get excited everytime it rings.
