  • Underexposed

    What If Radiation Is Actually GOOD for You?

    by Ed Hiserodt ...
    There is a very large disconnect between the actual dangers of exposure to low doses of ionizing radiation and the fears of such exposure. A tiny leak at a nuclear power plant is front page news, while there has never been a death or even an injury to the public from escaping radiation.
