AW: [ RadSafe ] Fentograms - Testing by Axel Gerdes

[John Jacobus]

Franz,
Actually, I only have a mild interesting is this
issue.  I have seen these arguements on the effects
and analysis of uranium and DU go on and on and on.
I only pointed out the additional statement that
appeared in the newspaper article as being somewhat
unclear.  Yes, I know the differences between natural
and DU.  

I do not doubt that Dr. Gerdes does good work.  It is
how the results are interpreted based on the bias of
those who report the results.

This is similar to the interpretation of
epidemilogical data by those who are pro- or ant-LNT. 
Or who are pro- or anti-hormesis.
