It sounds incred­i­ble, but accord­ing to the Sci­ence blog Popsci.com, sci­en­tists have dis­cov­ered evi­dence that  cell phone radi­a­tion may actu­ally reverse Alzheimer’s, as well as boost memory!

The study, con­ducted at The Uni­ver­sity of South­ern Florida, is the first to inves­ti­gate the effects of long-​​term elec­tro­mag­netic radi­a­tion on mem­ory func­tion. It is far from proven that these results, seen in mice, are valid for human beings as well, but they may pave the way for new, non-​​invasive ways of treat­ing Alzheimer’s patients.

Also, fears that the same radi­a­tion may cause can­cer are not alle­vi­ated. For now, though, those who fear Alzheimer’s more than brain tumors, can chat away on their cell phones with a clear conscience.
