Baby

Your cellphone could be destroying your chance to conceive.

A recent University of Exeter study shows cellphone radiation led to an 8% drop in sperm health. The phone’s radio waves damaged sperm motility (ability to move) and viability.

(The cellphone was kept 2.5 cm away from the test samples. This simulated a phone in a man’s front pants pocket.)

The damaged sperm also had an 85% increase in “free radicals.” Free radicals are dangerous molecules linked to aging and cancer.

Bottom line: You may want to take that phone out of your pocket… especially while talking on a hands-free device.
