Marcel Levi advised the male viewers of Humberto last night not to wear tight underpants. “Testicles don’t like heat. That’s why they hang.”
Many iPhone owners will have checked yesterday which model they have: the French regulator has banned the iPhone 12 due to excessive radiation and there is now also a threat of a sales ban. The news was covered in the daily last night talk show by Humberto Tan.
Dying
Twan Huys indicates in the broadcast that he was also shocked. “I don’t know much about technology. I have a phone of course. It sounds like a terrible thing to say, but this morning I had to check which iPhone number I had. I thought: do I actually have that thing? Do I have an iPhone? I understand I’m a little higher. 14, I have.”
Political chief Elodie Verweij: “I’ve had those 12 for years, so I think I’m really on the verge of death now.”
‘Keep it cool!’
The well-known internist and professor of medicine Marcel Levi reassures his table companions. “Yes but keep it cool, huh? It concerns electromagnetic radiation. It is not about radioactive radiation, not about UV radiation. It concerns electromagnetic radiation.”
Elodie: “So I don’t have to take iodine?”
Marcel: “What does electromagnetic radiation do to a body? It warms it up a bit. You might get a warm ear from your phone.”
Fertility
Humberto wonders if the iPhone 12 is bad for your crotch. “There was always a rumor that men shouldn’t keep their phones in their pockets because that’s bad for fertility.”
Then Marcel comes with his underwear advice. “Yes, testicles don’t like heat either. That is why they hang a little outside the body. A lot of people know that. You shouldn’t wear tight underwear either.”
No deaths
In any case, owners of the iPhone 12 do not have to worry, says Marcel. “So it is not that there is suddenly a huge health risk here. They do not meet the standard, but it is not the case that there are deaths or anything.”
Humberto: “Okay, reassured.”
