What about cell phone’s effects on male sterility? I read that if you keep your cell phone in your front pocket next to you ‘boys’ you could diminish their sperm count. I don’t want kids, so I keep three phones in my underpants.

yes, I don’t really understand how anyone in the scientific community can be “unsettled” or still wondering about cell phones and brain tumors. Cell phone radiation can’t do squat.

There should be ZERO doubt. This issue was settled by Einstein nearly 100 years ago. He won the Nobel Prize in physics for his research on the photo-electric effect. Questioning whether cell phones cause brain cancer is akin to admitting no understanding of why it’s the ultraviolet rays of sunlight that cause cancer, rather than red light. Photons from ultraviolet, xray, and gamma ray sources have frequencies that are many orders of magnitude higher than those from cell phones. And, as Einstein clearly showed, it’s not a matter of intensity or duration; these matter not – it the electromagnetic frequency that is important.
