"Heavy Cell Phone Use Tied to Poorer Sperm Quality"

There hasn't been a cause-and-effect relationship determined by the study done by Cleveland Clinic researchers, but I think there just has to be something bad going on with cell phones next to our brains or in our pockets next to our other ones. I don't know what to tell you about how to avoid this. I keep my phone on my desk when I'm at work, rather than in my pocket. I've also tried to replace talking with sending text messages (the verb "texting" sounds awkward to me).

Maybe it's just that nature made dorky people like that Verizon guy with low sperm counts and they happen to spend more time on the phone than having face-to-face conversations.

Go ahead and talk away, just as long as you don't go over your minutes. That gets pretty expensive.

"Researchers at the Danish Institute of Cancer Epidemiology followed 420,095 cell phone users who subscribed to service between 1982 and 1995, and were tracked through 2002 to spot any incidences of cancer. Compared with the general population, there was no appreciable difference."

They might even lessen the risk for cancer (joking):

"What was found was a lower risk for smoking-related cancers, however this was likely more to do with socio-economic status than the cell phones themselves. Early adopters of cellular technology were of higher income, and smoke at a lesser rate than the general population."
