Phones and Wi-Fi, according to scientists, can induce Alzheimer disease
Per a recent study, our cell phones and excessive exposure to Wi-Fi radiation may have a role in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease.
According to a news release regarding the findings, the majority of experts think that Alzheimer's disease is caused by an abnormal accumulation of calcium in the brain. According to the study, electromagnetic fields (EMF) may contribute to the calcium accumulation. Energy of this sort is released by gadgets such as cell phones.
“Electromagnetic fields act through time-varying electrical spikes and magnetic forces on a nanosecond scale. Any one of these can produce anyone's worst nightmare: extremely early-onset Alzheimer's disease," said study author Martin Pall of Washington State University. In addition, he states that young people who are exposed to "radiation from cell phones or Wi-Fi" for many hours a day are at risk of developing "digital dementia."
Electromagnetic fields have been connected to health concerns in the past. While the National Cancer Institute states that a relationship between EMFs and cancer is improbable and that typical levels of EMFs have no effect on people, Healthline reports that other, more prevalent ailments have been linked to EMFs, such as irritation, headaches, and sleeplessness.
The link between Alzheimer's disease and cell phones is still being studied, albeit not as thoroughly as it should be, as it is now a secondary issue, perhaps even sinister, that it is not studied more thoroughly, given the widespread use of mobile devices, which should be sufficient to warrant further investigation.

So the article isn't actually new research its a review piece, honestly it is fairly interesting.
However based on what he's written and the papers referenced, if he was 100% correct then we all have 100% got Alzheimer's right now. (Like literally the key paper is a study that gave rats AD like pathology in under 8 months using EM pulses, the author then claimed that's 21 years in rat years, which, i'm pretty sure that isn't how it works, so given that we've been living with various Gs for 20 years easily we all fucked right now)
And his argument that things seen in rats are exact models for humans is based on the notoriously unreliable connection between living in high EMF areas and physiological effects (A lot of bad stuff correlates with living near high EMF levels)
Definitely worth investigating though tbh

The source for the main story is the NIH, a US government site.
The beer story is anecdotal.
What exactly are you saying?
I'm saying that quoting non scientific sites rather than the original source is a bad starting point.
That site posts scientific reviews, no matter how crank, that fits its world view. And ignores any other scientific reviews that does not.
So it is filtering even before you get to any science.
Is that a good starting point?
That is my point.
The beer story being anecdotal is bad in itself, this site has no compunction on sifting the wheat from the chaff.
Or are you saying that is ok?

Why?
The amount of EMF even over the last 5 years has been massive. But no massive increase in cancers etc.
EMF builds up Calcium, calcium makes Dementia.
That sentence alone shows that this is a crank. There simply is not enough evidence for the first or second to cause any issues with EMF.
The link between the two is Will o the wisp
I'm surprised people on here give it any credence. Need to put your rigorous science hats on !

Link please for this, the author seems to be not associated with it.
He seems to be retired and hitting the NIH
That's just drivel .. going on about lower fertility.
Maybe a Calcium block !
It's madness.

That looks strangely familiar, The Three Amigos?
