News: Cell phones: Cancer and Infertility?

So I just read on MSN that using cells phone for more than 4 hours a day can cause infertility in men. I think the point of the story was for our society to use our cell phones less. Apparently, the fact that cell phones can cause brain cancer didn't deter us from talking on our cell phones, so they resorted to infertility. Wow, that's a pretty low blow. I mean, after all, a man's pride is located a little south of the waist. Informing us that something can cause our little swimmers to drop in numbers and not be as viable should veer us as far away as possible from the source. Of course, this won't happen. Just read the article. They tested their hypothesis on 364 men...hardly enough samples to draw such a conclusion. Then they go on to say that they aren't sure if it's actually from the cell phone's radiation or the battery heat. Since when did heat from everyday products cause infertility problems? They tried to link that to laptops, but no one believed it even though it seemed probable. So are heating pads and seat heaters going to drop our sperm count? How come no one points blame to other heating products that we sit on? And it's not like we put the cell phone near our waistline when we're talking on the phone, so how does the heat from the battery that is probably contacting our hand and ears connected to our sperm count? I'm sure that this study will end up like the relationship between cell phones and cancer...nada, as reported by the FDA website. And anyways, why are you guys talking on the phone for more than 4 hours a day anyways? Get out there and exercise or something!
