American scientists have contributed to the longstanding debate about the health risks of mobile phones. According to new data, the use of cellular communications has one major advantage: it is able to protect older people from senile dementia. At least such conclusions were reached by specialists at the Center for the Study of Alzheimer's Disease in Florida based on the results of an experiment conducted on mice.

A total of 96 mice were used in the experiment, conducted by the University of South Florida under the direction of Dr. Gary Arendash.

To date, the results of studies evaluating the impact of cell phones on health are contradictory and do not allow for unambiguous conclusions. In particular, earlier Israeli scientists said that frequent use of mobile phones increases the risk of cancer cells in the salivary gland and in the parotid region of the head by 50%. And recently, Swedish scientists, as a result of research, noted that the use of cell phones does lead to noticeable changes at the biological level.

The mice were exposed to electromagnetic radiation for two hours a day for seven to nine months. The scientists then ran a series of standardized tests to assess the rodents' intelligence and memory.

As it turned out, after prolonged exposure to electromagnetic radiation, mice genetically predisposed to the development of dementia were in no way inferior in test results to their healthy counterparts. In a subgroup of elderly rodents who showed the first signs of a disease similar to Alzheimer's before the experiment began, there was an improvement in brain function. In turn, healthy mice exposed to electromagnetic radiation performed slightly better on tests than normal animals of their age.

Scientists do not exclude that long-term exposure to electromagnetic radiation may become an affordable and safe method of preventing and possibly treating Alzheimer's disease in the future.
