Where are you storing your cell/smart phone? Could it be dangerous to your health?

First let me start by saying that We are officially going back to our original schedule, now that I am back from New York. I was going to blog from there but I did not have a reliable Internet source. Anyways the trip wasn't that great for me. But moving on to this weeks topic.

A recent collaborative study done by the Harvard Science Center, in America, and the University of Bristol Science Center, in the UK, showed that even though cell phones do not cause cancer directly, like it had believed to do before, they can still cause harm to many parts of your body. Cell phone emit radio wave that go directly into your body, when you use them. Each phone releases a different amount of these waves, called a SAR, or Specific Absorption Rate. 

If you use your cell/smart phone as a regular phone that you put up to your ear to talk, then you may want to put that phone on speaker and place it away from your body, the radio waves that are emitted during a cell phone call are quite a bit higher than when it is idle. The best way to counter this effectively is to hold the phone away from your head, or go hands free, not with a head set though because it releases the same radiation as the cell/smart phone. 

Women, if you keep your cell/smart phone in your bra, be careful because that can cause lumps to form due to the radio waves and those lumps can be cancerous. It doesn't seem to be a direct cause but it makes it a ton more likely for you to get breast cancer, so please be careful, after all you have pockets. 

Men, I am not sure why you would, but do not put your cell phones in your lap or down your pants, if you do, then you are about 15% more likely to get testicular cancer than a man who doesn't. But that is not all that it does, if you plan on having kids both men and women need to keep their, cell/smart phone away from their private areas, because it decreases your fertility rating by up to 50%. that is huge!

There are a few ways to counter these radio waves, one good way is, to store your phone away from your body, like in a pocket or purse. When you get a call do not put the phone up to your ear, and do not wear a head set, put it on speaker and hold it away from your head. Keep all SAR devices away from any private parts of your bodies, and lastly check out the SAR ratings on your individual phones before purchasing, some have less SAR ratings. I am not saying to stop using your phone, I could never go without my phone, but please be careful, radio waves going into the body is not a natural thing and could cause problems down the line.
