Quote:
Researchers at the Florida Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center arranged about 70 mouse cages in a circle around a central antenna that emitted electromagnetic waves typical of what would emanate from a phone pressed to a human head. They were exposed to the radiation for two hours a day over seven to nine months. About two dozen other mice served as controls [Los Angeles Times]. Arendash’s team used mice they had genetically engineered to develop the brain buildups and memory problems typical of Alzheimer’s when they got older. The team says that the memory problems of those mice exposed to the radiation began to disappear during the study. Not only that, but normal mice (that hadn’t been genetically engineered) also showed memory improvements after exposure.


Real scientists are happy with the result of the experiment, whether it proves or disproves their hypothesis. Either way, they got a kickass paper out of this experiment.

They reasoned that the cell phone exposure would make the dementia worse. Instead, it seems to have improved it.

So maybe you should call your grandmother more often, for her health as well as yours.

No, my cell-phone is wonderful, thank-you. My evil old prejudiced, fossil-moralled, two-faced, violent, bitter, passive-agressive, heartless, hurtful, hateful, wrong-prioritised, damaging, harridan of a grandmother is dying.

Once again, this is why I don't listen to these 'amazing little scientific discoveries'. They're always being overturned and stuffs. I wonder how many more decades, if not centuries, it's going to be before we can truly understand the human brain. If we keep up our exponential increase in science, maybe I can see it happen in my lifetime. Hopefully we don't have another christian induced dark age. Smiley: wink2

I mean, you should really stop using your mobile so much. Or use it more, maybe.

Oh, I don't want her, you can have her, she's too prejudiced, fossil-moralled, two-faced, violent, bitter, passive-agressive, heartless, hurtful, hateful, wrong-prioritised, damaging, harridan for me.


God I hate that song.

Out of mommy's mind.
