The Latest Headline Which Isn't

What is going on here?  A study was done which appears to show that people living in high background radiation areas live longer than those who don't.  I can't read the actually study, and am relying on this linked article.

The article states that the study proves the LNT "hypothesis" (it's actually a theory, which the headline gets correct) is wrong.  

NO, it doesn't.

The LNT theory applies to cancer, not longevity.  So even if the study is valid, the interpretation is not.

I dislike quoting the MAGAt Trump, but..."FAKE NEWS!"

  

Cells Phones Don't Increase Brain Cancer Risk

Large Australian study fails to find cause and effect.

And guess what?  These "undies" won't protect you from something that isn't harmful to begin with.

Russia's Radioactive River Revisited

The U.S. National Cancer Institute has an ongoing study of the population in the area.

The INWORKS Study

Here's the study, mentioned in the video within my previous post.

Funny, I've never heard a DeNiAr mention it!

Beyond Nuclear Is Beyond Credible

They point out that the U.S. NRC built a building they found they didn't need.

Yeah, it's tough to plan for the future accurately, it's a lot easier to manufacture criticism.

But then to link that circumstance to not funding the nuclear plant cancer study (hey morons, they're trying to save money in part BECAUSE they built the building!!!) is absurd.

But it seems Paul Gunter is a clairvoyant....he knows there are elevated cancer rates even though the study has been cancelled!

U.S. NRC Terminates NAS Cancer Studies

Due to costs and time.  Smart move in my opinion.

I Don't Debate Creationists Or DeNiArs....

But some people do!

Thanks to an anynomous commenter for the link!

Speaking Of IARC

They've done the largest epidemiological study to date on low dose radiation.

The Hanford Quixotic Challenge

The Hanford Challenge is off to find some sort of ill-defined pattern of sickness amongst a population.

The human mind is wonderful at finding patterns, but that has little to do with cause and effect.

Newspaper Covers Amateur Epidemiologists

I guess when it involves radioactivity and cancer it makes news.  Regardless of its merit.

Pseudo-epidemiologist Mangano Gets Press Coverage

Which is what he wants, of course.

He should study the Bradford-Hill criteria for causation, but then, he's not an epidemiologist.

If one does a case-control study and compares the leukemia rate with distance from the plant.
