Remarks on Tooth Fairy Project

[Robert Holloway <roberth@ntanet.net>]

Norm Cohen commented as follows:



>>>>>>Douglas,

The theory is that if a fetus has higher levels of sr90,

which is a  marker, then the fetus has also absorbed many 

of the other radionuclides emitted by nukes. These 

chemicals settle in different places in the body, where 

they emit radiation which harms the immune 

system, especially in fetus and infants.<<<<<



There is a long list of negative things that can

be said about the logic behind the Tooth Fairy 

Project and it is amazing that people with at least

nominal education in nuclear science can promote

such nonsense. Let me suggest a few problems with 

their thinking:



1. They first need to show, which they have not,

   that Sr-90 from power plants is an environmental

   pollutant of any signicance. Remember that the poison 

   is in the dose.



2. They need to show that the Sr-90 they are finding

   in baby teeth is from power plants, rather than from

   the most likely source, worldwide fallout from the

   nuclear testing era.



3. They need to show that their is a credible pathway

   from nuclear power plants to baby teeth. They have

   not done this and are making no attempt to show this.



It is understandable that they have not yet 

shown any of the above. It is not understandable that

these goals are not even in their plans. Like Don Quixote,

they are tilting at windmills and thinking that they are 

doing something worthwhile.
