Friends,
I seem to remember that during a discussion on the
beneficial effects of radiation, someone suggested that the lower cancer rates
(or was it longevity in general?) at higher altitudes were due to the lower
oxygen concentration and not due to the beneficial effects of radiation. Some
animal studies were cited.
Could someone refresh my memory on this? (Or set me
straight, preferably in a professional manner, which ever the case might be.) Is
excess oxygen associated with poor health? Is this a reasonably accepted fact or
is it a far out theory?
Thank You,
Kai
