If you happen to practice putting your phone inside your pocket, this might be a good read for you.

In a report by News AU, Dr. Devra Davis, an American Scientist, expressed her alarm on the growing trend of putting mobile phones in your pocket because of the threat of radiation that it causes. During one of her talks at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Dr. Davis said that the trend of putting such devices in bras, pockets and head bands makes her wonder just how much people know about exposure to phones.

Dr. Davis first acknowledged the use of phone-like radiation in the medical field, saying, it has been an important part in treating liver cancer, detecting cancer and even regulates the absorption of drugs for the brain. Despite its helpful feature, exposure to radiation also comes with several negative results such as male impotency and a drastic change in the brain's metabolism.

In the case of mobile phone radiation, its effect on human includes diabetes, heart diseases and depression. She also warned mobile phone users to read the manual where it also indicates the dangers of radiation.

Putting your mobile phone in your pocket will also affect your pelvic area as well as your bone density. In a related story, Mercola featured a woman who suffered breast cancer without suffering any other related risk factors, it turns out she had a habit of putting her cellphone inside her bra, a trend that coincides with others who normally put their phones inside their pockets. Although the woman's doctor can't directly connect the risk of phone radiation to her breast cancer, the signs have been there and the practice of unknowingly exposing her body to radiation is very high.

Phone radiation to men also affects their capability to stay potent. A recent study also showed that regular exposure to such radiation can cause them to risk their sperm count. The quality of their sperm in terms of being able to mature and stay healthy until it reaches the egg is also threatened. One study said, "RF-EMR in both the power density and frequency range of mobile phones enhances mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation by human spermatozoa, decreasing the motility and vitality of these cells while stimulating DNA base adduct formation and, ultimately DNA fragmentation."
