In reply to the discussion: Low-dose study finds no effects [View all]RobertEarl
(13,685 posts)17. Problem is
The radiation doses were delivered via bananas.
They piled up 400 bananas and then looked through the microscope after feeding several helpings of vitamin C.
But forget all that.... just look at the wording here:
"...each living cell is subject to at least about 10,000 changes per day, but that self-repair mechanisms are able to correct these. Exposure to radiation at 400 times background levels resulted in only around 12 extra changes.
So there are about 10,000 changes per day. So it could be about 9.500?
So the 12 extra could really be 512?
Shit, even i know better than to write something so damned specious. What kind of nuclear lackeys is MIT in bed with now?
