Cell Phones May Help Against Alzheimer’s
Well, well, well…so we go from cell phones causing brain tumors, and frankly sending signals into your brain seems like it is a bad thing (it probably is in reality), scientists claim that cell phone use may actually help protect against Alzheimer’s disease.
The millions of people who spend hours every day on a cell phone may have a new excuse for yakking. A surprising new study in mice provides the first evidence that long-term exposure to electromagnetic waves associated with cell phone use may actually protect against, and even reverse, Alzheimer’s disease. The study, led by University of South Florida researchers at the Florida Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC), was published January 6 in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. So even a Black Friday phone is probably your ticket to a long lasting memory, or not.
“It surprised us to find that cell phone exposure, begun in early adulthood, protects the memory of mice otherwise destined to develop Alzheimer’s symptoms,” said lead author Gary Arendash, PhD, USF Research Professor at the Florida ADRC. “It was even more astonishing that the electromagnetic waves generated by cell phones actually reversed memory impairment in old Alzheimer’s mice.”
