Mobiles Can Damage Memory

[Harshal 11]

LONDON: Swedish researchers have found memory impairment in rats exposed to cellphone radiation for two hours every week for more than a year.

The rats subjected to a memory test were released into a box with four objects. These objects were changed on two occasions and their position was also altered both the times. The actual test trial was the third occasion. This time the rats encountered two of the objects from the first occasion and two of the objects from the second.

The rats, used as control, spent more time exploring the objects from the first occasion, which they considered more interesting since they had not seen them for some time. The experiment rats, on the other hand, evinced a lesser pronounced difference in interest.

Henrietta Nittby and her supervisor Leif Salford, of the neurosurgery division of Lund University, Sweden, believe that the findings may be related to the team's earlier findings, that microwave radiation from cellphones can affect the so-called blood-brain barrier. This is a barrier that protects the brain by preventing substances circulating in the blood from penetrating into the brain tissue and damaging nerve cells.

What's the average age of a rat? Can it be that the falling memory is more due to the age than radiation?

lol ....good question....but they r not goin to take aged rats in the experiment

this is not the first time this has been shwon thru experiments ......since last decade reasearch has een showing that increase exposure can lead to neuronal degenration......but still no concrete evidence of its effects on humans

I don't know how far we can rely on this research. But one thing is sure. RADIATION is harmful. Only to what extent it causes damage is not known. So take precaution.

My dear friends, its always better to be SAFE then SORRY.

Lol ......an one day u'll forget ur rimweb id and password by the continuous use of reliance....

I would think the best option for heavy users would be to use handsfree, though make sure you dont put the phone in your shirt pocket or pant pocket. You dont want other body parts to malfunction either. LOL.

In fact, reliance phones can be improved further. Remeber the ad 'Sauna belt' that gets heated and reduces whichever fatty part you put it on? Put your reliance phone on your fatty part (tummy, butt) whenever you are making a long call. You will reduce your weight as long as you talk, as the phone heats up a lot and thus works on the Sauna logic!
