AW: [ RadSafe ] DNA Damage and Oxydative Processes

[Maury Siskel]

Hi John,
Obviously I may be mistaken, but I am persuaded from the data cited here 
that BEIR VII did not fit the data readily available to it. I disagree 
with the assertion that conspiracies are more understandable than truth. 
Conspiracies have greater emotional appeal to many because of the 
substituted emotional component in lieu of the work needed to elicit and 
verify so-called truth. Fairy tales are in fact often simple substitutes 
for the resources required to gain operational  understandings. When 
BEIR VII or any such body selectively ignores data, it is promoting 
fairy tales at the expense of understanding -- totally independent of 
any conspiracy in the usual meaning of that term.
Cheers,
