6. Wrong way "Pam" strikes again - yet again misrepresenting research.

Specific to radiation studies it is difficult to get a more credentialed "scientific pedigree" than the journal "Radiation Research, the official monthly journal of the US Radiation Research Society, publishes original and review articles dealing with radiation effects and related subjects in the areas of physics, chemistry, biology and medicine (impact factor in 2010: 2.578).


As for the "scientific pedigree" of the authors originating the study:
"The Radiation Effects Research Foundation has studied A-bomb survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasaki for more than 60 years. RERF’s research achievements are considered the principal scientific basis for assessment of radiation risk by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) and recommendations regarding radiation protection standards by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP)."
