What's the frequency, Kenneth?
Over the weekend we worried aloud about the potential for harmful health effects from exposure to cell phone radiation. Now comes the suggestion that there might be positive health effects from such exposure. At least if you're a mouse. Here's the link to the story -- worth it if only to read the sentence "The rest of the mice were non-demented."

The FDA has known this for years -- that's why they offer MDRs -- minimum daily radiofrequencies.
At least there's a physically plausible mechanism (the low energy waves disrupt the plaque formation even while being too low energy to create any ionizations) for this effect.
Or it could just be an aberrant result -- they happen, even to careful researchers.

Great find.
How are you today? Non-demented, thanks.
Table for two? Demented or non-demented? Non-demented, please.
