Cell Phones Protect From Alzheimer’s

Over the years scientists have been pounding the “Cell Phone” for years- brain tumors, radiation all that stuff. But finally, something positive about cell phones: they can prevent Alzheimer’s. Florida scientists tested this on mice with successful results. The mice were on the phone for 2 hours a day for 7-9 months-which isn’t hard for a teenager. As the mice aged their memory remained intact while the non-cell-phoned mice were starting to get dementia. But humans are different from mice, so humans might need even 2 hours a day for years. Rebecca Wood, one of the scientists involved in the project says “We don't recommend spending 24 hours a day on a mobile phone – “We don't know the long-term effects, and bills could go through the roof.” The mice digestion was normal and had no side effects and the scientists predict the same for humans. The scientists don’t know yet if cell phones can remove Alzheimer’s, but for now, they know they can remove it.
