AW: AW: [ RadSafe ] DNA Damage and Oxydative Processes

[Rainer.Facius at dlr.de]

John:

 

I did not intend to "claim" anything whatsoever. 

 

I presented original data(!)  from peer reviewed publications, pointed out their misrepresentation in BEIR VII, and I offered my personal evaluation thereof. I did not arbitrarily focus on these two sources of data.

 

I invite you to locate in the BEIR-VII report and present here studies referred therein on 

(i) carcinogenic effects 

(ii) in healthy man 

(iii) from chronic exposures 

(iv) to doses well below 1 Gy

 

which 

 

(A) feature more or equally prominently in BEIR VII, 

(B) provide an insight into the 'raw' DATA, which in turn 

(C) reveal incidence/mortality dependencies supporting rather than contradicting the LNT postulate. 

 

I will be happy to continue this discussion, yet only with regard to such data that you might present.

 

Furthermore, in order to find out what I am referring to, I urge you to consult the table 1 in 

Martinson, B.C., Anderson, M. L., de Vries, R. Nature 435(2005)737-738

 

and contemplate the two examples brought up by me in view of the items 7,9,(13),14,(15).

 

Perhaps you will also be able to present arguments whether or not the BEIR VII authors should by exempted from these criteria specifying "bad" behaviour and from the usual consequences. 

 

Regards, Rainer

I am not sure what you are referring to.  Are you
selecting only those examples that statisfy you claims
and leaving other out?
