Cell Phones and Brain Risk
A recent neurological study found a correlation between cell phone radiation and Alzheimer’s disease symptoms. An inverse correlation. Surprise, surprise!
The researchers showed that exposing old Alzheimer’s mice to electromagnetic waves generated by cell phones erased brain deposits of the harmful protein beta-amyloid, in addition to preventing the protein’s build-up in younger Alzheimer’s mice.
Ok, the “highly-controlled” research was on mice. Still. The news release title read:
Cell phone exposure may protect against and reverse Alzheimer’s disease
At this point in time, what do we know about cell phone use and risks to the brain? Doesn’t seem that cell phones cause cancer. But they might help reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s.
Man, sometimes science is stranger than fiction.
