Now a new study out of Australia has found more compelling evidence that cell phones may be hurting your fertility.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Instead of conducting their own experiment, the University of Newcastle examined 27 separate research studies that have been conducted over the years (also known as a meta-study) and determined that the link between cell phone radiation and falling sperm counts was nearly conclusive. Twenty-one of these studies showed a causal link between cell phone radiation and sperm damage. On average, cell phone exposure resulted in an 8% decrease in sperm motility, and a 9% decrease in sperm viability.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">According to the authors of the study, &#8220;While this subject remains a topic of active debate, this review has considered the growing body of evidence suggesting a possible role for RF-EMR [radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation] induced damage of the male germ line&#8230; In a majority of studies, this damage has been characterized by loss of sperm motility and viability as well as the induction of ROS generation and DNA damage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">So far, however, the scientific community is reluctant to say that cell phone radiation definitely damages male fertility. That&#8217;s because no one can figure out how this is possible, since cell phone radiation is considered non-ionizing. Despite that, the author of this study has recommended that &#8220;men should not store their cellphones near their genitals&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">&#160;<\/p>\n<p>\n    <strong>yogaesoteric<br \/>October 9, 2016<\/strong><br \/>\n    <\/p>\n<p>  &#160;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#160; Earlier this year an Israeli study found that men who store their cell phones in their front pockets have significantly higher rates of abnormal sperm.
