So I was reading the latest issue of the Health Physics Journal and I see this really stupid letter by a guy named William B. Grant criticizing the UV Index working group on its work. The UVI working group primarily focuses on the cancer risk associated with UV radiation.
Grant accused them of not paying enough attention to the beneficial effects of UV radiation in areas other than bone health (ie, cancer risk reduction). He primarily used studies which suffered from the ecological fallacy to bolster his case.
Like the radiation hormesis proponents (or Intelligent Design proponents or global warming deniers) he has a website.
