AW: "Limit to Survival - Effect of Radiation
My "questions" were not directed to you, but to Howard. He has written what
seems to me a confirmation of lack of fundamental knowledge. I repeat that
no connection between LNT, ALARA and deficiency of stable iodine has ever
been claimed, as well not for lack of fluoride. If he claims, that this has
been the case he has to confirm it by the relevant literature. Otherwise I
simply assume that he has no idea about the topics he addressed. We do not
need Norman Cohen on this list and we as well do not need somebody who is
not able to distinguish between stable iodine and radioactive iodine and
tells us all kind of nonsense about epidemiological research.
Let him answer!

Franz:
There is no inherent or necessary connection between LNT and radioactivity.
LNT, and the resulting notion of collective dose and ALARA can be, and have
been, applied to many substances that are not radioactivity.

John,
Would it be, "a common sense (conservative) point of view of risk
management." to further deprive people in a goiter-deaf-retarded area (Great
Lakes, Himalaya foothills, central Mexico) of iodine, as called for by LNT
and
ALARA?
Or would your common sense deprive most American children of the fluoride
that
could save tooth drilling? ALARA would do more harm than good (i.e. NOT
common
sense or "conservative") in these or sunshine. The preponderance of data
suggests that ALARA damages.

Howard,
What are you writing about? I thought that LNT and ALARA had something to do
with radioactivity? What you mention is s t a b l e iodine!!! And I do not
know of anybody or any organisation which would question the use of stable
iodine in iodine deficient areas or would want to remove it from water. Or
do you advocate to use I-131 or I-125 or maybe even I-129 in these areas???
I know, that some people are against fluoridation of drinking water, but I
never heard that the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) was
used to reduce fluoride in drinking water. Again, the fluoride is not
radioactive.
Please give an explanation and it must be a very good one and reasonable,
because otherwise you would only show, that you have no idea about basic
knowledge on radioactivity and isotopes and I as well as others would know
what to think about your other contributions on "hormesis".
Franz
