    This piece is little more than disinformation. It claims that ionizing radiation is "a weak carcinogen" when, in fact, it is a very strong carcinogen.

    Science has known for decades that medical x-rays are the prime cause of cancer, specifically breast cancer (source: The Mammogram Myth by Rolf Hefti). Yet, to avoid culpability the medical industry, along with their allies such as the pink ribbon groups and the mass media, have been merely talking about "risk factors" for breast cancer and they keep claiming that low dose x rays are practically harmless.

      Wow...such incredible misinformation Chris - please research what the scientists/physicists/medical professionals and other experts int heir fields say on the subject before printing such dribble. It would be funny except that unfortunately no doubt there are more out there who believe as you, conspiracy theorists who listen to what their neighbors say as gospel without a shred of scientific proof. God Bless America.
