[ RadSafe ] re: Radiation Exposure Tied To Lymphoma Risk In Men

[Clayton J Bradt]

Howard,

I can't quite picture myself trying to eat 40 scoops of icecream while
seated on welding rods.  It sounds terribly uncomfortable, though the
orientation would make a big difference!

DOSE!

Note that the Bomb radiation association with lymphoma appeared after 20
rad,

(40X that with beneficial effect found in NSWstudy), which also had slow,

DOSE RATE!

Try gulping 40 scoops of ice cream at one time! (Bomb vs nuclear worker -
one "scoop" a day)

I continue to sit on thoriated welding rods which give me radiation dose
more like Denver's (lower cancer rate).

If you do 20 studies, one of them will show "statistically significant"
association, by chance alone!

Guess which one would be reported.
