Re: Tooth Fairy (Project) ....

Dear Radsafers;



Commoner and Rosenthal did a "tooth fairy" study all the way back in

the late 1950s. This foolishness goes back almost half a century!   In

2001, Washington University in St. Louis found 85,000 baby teeth in

storage left over from the Commoner - Rosenthal study. The University

donated those teeth to the present reincarnation of the the tooth

fairy project.



Subjective opinion: Most of the negative critical remarks about this

whole fairy tale are correct. This is not science; it is sheer

political horse hockey and should only be addressed if needed to

explain to the lay public and to so-called politicians what a play on

nuclear fears it is. Otherwise, it is not worth any of your expert

qualifications to even fool with it or with the people who have chosen

to associate themselves with this fiction. It isn't even good science

fiction!!!



Cheers,
