Cellphone Radiation May Protect Brain From Alzheimers
We've discussed cellphones and cancer many times. Here's a new angle: reader olddotter sends in a Reuters article suggesting that cellphone radiation may protect the brain from Alzheimer's disease. "At the end of that time, they found cellphone exposure erased a build-up of beta amyloid, a protein that serves as a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. The Alzheimer's mice showed improvement and had reversal of their brain pathology..."
Maybe the mice that were talking on cell phones had a richer mental life, staving off the disease for reasons other than the radiation.
Nerd rage is the funniest rage.
Maybe we've got it all wrong... Can alzheimers be the cure for cancer?
The mice have been running the experiment to check the safety of cellphones for mice use by making the human beings to use them for a long time. It is quite well known and well documented actually.

Cell phones, check
So we should go buy a bunch of those pre-paid cell phones and duct tape them to grandma's head and hope to heck her memory gets better.

He's going to ask for a Bluetooth headset.
There's no -1 for "I don't get it."
On a long enough timeline, the rate of survival always drops to zero. Stop worrying so much.

So, cell phones protect from alzheimers? The condition that (among other effects) causes people to forget things ? I find that quite ironic, considering that it seems 99% of people forget how to drive when they're on one.
P.S. At least I think that's irony. Every time I think I've got it down, someone shows me a new rule for what is or isn't irony. My apologies to the grammar Nazis in advance if I have it wrong.
