No dose of X-Rays small enough to not be a cancer risk!

Many years ago - in 1995 to be exact, I was ridiculed by a group of my friends because I refused to have an X-Ray taken when it was not absolutely necessary. The doc "just wanted to be safe" and I resisted. This earned me the nick-name of "gene mutation" because I was of the view that radiation caused gene mutation leading to cancer. Well, to those that mocked me, I hope you read this.
Also, Teflon is the news for all the wrong reasons - read this report from earlier and this one. We are slowly moving away from non-stick utensils, maybe we need to make haste.
