[ RadSafe ] Antinucs' Reluctantly Released Data Confirms Radiation Hormesis (Taiwan Apts)

[howard long]

Note "Environmental - " address to respond to establishment release, and abstract inconsistent with table 3 data: "highly significant (p<0.01)" that solid cancer incidence 
  not LESS in exposed population.
   
  Only leukemia incidence may be higher, and mortality rate even there just 2 in 7,000 in 23 years.

  Apparently, not everyone thinks that fatal cancers are
the only end-points to be evaluated for the effects of
low-level radiation exposure. It would be convenient
to ignore other effects, but is it ethical? Would you
wish to have your child exposed to a toxin (whatever
it is) that would increase their risk of cancer in
later life?

I am not sure that the headline "Childhood Cancer Rate
Increase by 40% by Low Dose Radiation" would play as
well. You can certainly cherry-pick the data you
want, but what are the consequences?
