Study Showing the Health Benefits of Low Level Radiation Doses

ByRod Adams

One of the least valid and costly assumptions made by radiation regulators is that there is no such thing as a safe dose of radiation. In a world where there is, always has been and always will be radiation at various levels due to natural phenomena, that claim just does not pass the sniff test.

If you want to read a recent, detailed study that quantifies the results obtained over more than one hundred years of known radiation measurements and sixty years worth of operating nuclear power plants, I highly recommend visiting PubMedCentral.nih.gov, downloading and reading a full text copy of Nuclear Energy and Health: And the Benefits of Low-Dose Radiation Hormesis.

You will certainly find yourself questioning much of what you have been TOLD (or SOLD) about the health effects of radiation.
