Carrying your cell phone in your pocket is like carrying around a mini-microwave. GQ Magazine posted a story that research shows carrying your cell phone in your pocket may make you sterile. Does this mean we have the answer to overpopulation?
Your Cell Phone May Make You Sterile
I had heard that cell phones may cause brain cancer, but not sterility. Is there a chance that carrying the cell phone in the pocket will cause ovarian cancer or testicular cancer? Just what do we know about the effect of microwave radiation? The US military is developing microwave weapons. Should we be concerned?
Europe has been historically more cautious about cell phone radiation warnings. While European countries seem to be more cautious, the US has more stringent standards for cell phones. The U.S. and Canada allow a maximum SAR level of 1.6 watts per kilogram, while Europe caps it at 2 watts per kilogram. Does this make you feel safer living in the US?
US studies of cell phone radiation linked to sterility won’t be out for another couple of years. Perhaps you should think about carrying your cell phone somewhere besides your pocket. Use a Bluetooth device when calling. Take precautions in case this really can cause sterility.
You’ve been warned! At least they are still talking about sterility and not virility…
