With the
terrible
earthquake and resulting tsunami that have devastated Japan, the only
good news is that anyone exposed to excess radiation from the nuclear
power plants is now probably much less likely to get cancer.
This only seems counterintuitive because of media hysteria for the past
20 years trying to convince Americans that radiation at any dose is
bad. There is, however, burgeoning evidence that excess radiation
operates as a sort of cancer vaccine.
As The New York Times science section reported in 2001, an increasing
number of scientists believe that at some level -- much higher than the
minimums set by the U.S. government -- radiation is good for you. "They
theorize," the Times said, that "these doses protect against cancer by
activating cells' natural defense mechanisms." [A

Hmmm, let me just try out some connections here. Does this mean that while our betters have been trying to tell us to eat like the Japanese to avoid cancer, it could have been that the Japanese were "vaccinated" against cancer?
ReplyDeleteMy brain is always making weird connections like that.

This is funny. The NYT has also reported that an increasing number of scientists believe that Global Warming causes global freezing.
ReplyDeleteRadiation diseases are fertile ground for fancy. Some people seem to be immune to large doses and some are susceptible to tiny doses, but there is no way to know who they are. So we look at large populations which tell us there is no safe dose and the damages are cumulative.
Distance, time, and shielding from exposure.
