[ RadSafe ] DNA Damage and Oxydative Processes

[jjcohen at prodigy.net]

Franz,
    As I said, by torturing (manipulating, playing with, or whatever term
you prefer),
"one could reach any desired conclusion" (pro or con!)
That is why the selection of panel members  can control the decisions that
are made --- and is why the USA and French expert panels on low-dose
radiation effects, looking at essentially the same data could come to
opposite conclusions.
Much as I dislike doing so, I must agree with the French on this one.
Vive la ---- whatever.  Have a nice weekend,      Jerry

Jerry,

Sine ira et studio: Isn't your remark of "sufficiently torturing any data
set" applicable to those defending the opposite?

Best regards,

Franz
