2:36Now PlayingNew studies show cell phones seem to damage mens’ sperm when carried in pockets. Is it time for man purses? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Stuffing your phone into your pants pocket is a convenient go-to, but for men it could have dire consequences, according to research.
A new study warns that men in particular need to think twice about where they are keeping their mobile device.
A review of 21 research papers on radiation shows mobile phones kept close to a man's genitals for an extended period of time decreases sperm count.
The studies also suggest surviving sperm could be DNA-damaged.
The findings have baffled scientists who have no way to explain how non-ionizing radiation influences the body.
Without that common connection many public health investigators are not confident to say definitively that cellphones harm sperm.
But a new study, by a team at Australia's University of Newcastle, has collected years of evidence in a bid to identify the trend and find potential causes.”*
