The relevant biology factors are in the abstract, but I can send the paper

if you want it (though you haven't read or understood anything yet.)

Right. The same biological response to oxidative stress as IR: Bax, Bcl-2,

etc.  Of course, this is just explanatory "mechanics," not health effects.

But unlike biology in other areas, the claim is that we need to describe the

mechanisms before the LNT-defenders will acknowledge the evidence of the

actual health effects.



You know the drill!
