Enligt uppgifter från Ericsson kommer människors exponering för mikrovågsstrålning att öka enormt genom 5G-utbyggnaden. Det kan därför bli ett ”stort problem eller omöjligt” att bygga ut 5G i länder med bättre skydd mot hälsorisker och lägre gränsvärden än i Sverige. I Sverige gäller gränsvärden som inte skyddar mot hälsorisker med långvarig exponering, exempelvis cancer och psykisk ohälsa, trots att riskerna väl belagda i forskningen.
Alzheimer’s is linked to gum disease – but bad oral health is not the only culprit
For most people, teeth cleaning may just be a normal part of your daily routine. But what if the way you clean your teeth today, might affect your chances of getting Alzheimer’s disease in years to come?
There is an increasing body of evidence to indicate that gum (periodontal) disease could be a plausible risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. Some studies even suggest your risk doubles when gum disease persists for ten or more years. Indeed, a new US study published in Science Advances details how a type of bacteria called Porphyromonas gingivalis – or P. gingivalis – which is associated with gum disease, has been found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Tests on mice also showed how the bug spread from their mouth to brain where it destroyed nerve cells.
