Here’s the direct link to the video you had nothing to do with yet expect to receive blog hits for:
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/ann-coulter-on-the-factor-radiation-is-actually-good-for-you/
I said a while back that I thought she had lost her marbles ; now I am sure .
Nuclear power is fine - radiation is good for you
Excerpt
> Unfortunately, far from safeguarding our health, current safety standards will almost certainly increase the incidence of cancer. The evidence shows that the effect of radiation on human health is not a linear one, but is a J-shaped curve. Exposure starts by being beneficial at low doses and only becomes harmful at higher doses. This effect is known as hormesis.
Be responsible. People at the Twin Towers got sick breathing the dust.
Huh?
Yeah, I’ve always generally liked Coulter, but I think this might be a stretch. It will get her publicity though.
Ann is simply stating something that the scientific/medical community has seen but cannot at this time determine what a beneficial exposure might be other than some evidence that at low levels occurrences of certain medical conditions are LOWER than average.
Seems worth investigating rather than questioning Ann!
There is also a very recent article by Ann Coulter about six figure bus drivers...check it out...it’s great (as always because it’s Ann)
