This forum is to debate the evidence for radiation hormesis, i.e. the concept that exposure to low-level radiation reduces cancer risk. The posts below have discussed some of the evidence supporting radiation hormesis. If you wish to challenge the evidence, please reply to the posts presenting your arguments. The sponsors of the debate are: XLNT Foundation https://www.x-lnt.org/ and Scientists for Accurate Radiation Information (SARI) https://radiationeffects.org/.
