Radiation affects our sperm count?

Question

my friend told me that if i put stuff containing radiation e.g. cellphones around our private area or anywhere close to it,it would kill our sperm count...is it true?

Answer 1

Some types of low-grade radiation do affect sperm health.  It is accepted that female sperm are stronger, but slower than the faster, weaker male sperm.  Airline pilots are exposed to low-grade radiation for extended periods by the equipment in the cockpit.  Studies have shown that pilots produce a much greater number of female offspring than the rest of the general population.  This has been attributed to their exposure to low-grade radiation.

I think it's too soon to tell how much if any effect there will be on sperm health as a result of cellphone radiation.  I would personally err on the side of caution.

Answer 2

Is your friend a nuclear physicist?  Bet not.  So don't believe c**p from someone who has no expertise to make substantiated statements.  

Answer 3

Heat reduces sperm count. So avoid hot tubs, prolonged periods of having lap tops on your laps, etc.  But the biggest danger to your sperm count is soy. According to a new study, eating soy reduces sperm count from 140 million per milliliter to 40 million, which is technically sterile.

Answer 4

No, that is just a tabloid lie. Cell phones are not radioactive or a spermicide. Your friends must believe everything they hear.
