Note, also, that the use of antioxidants actually worked _against_ the health benefits of the radiation.  Interesting (to me) is the need for chemo patients to refrain from taking antioxidants because the chemo works by creating &#8216;free radicals&#8217; which then can trigger cell death in cancer.  Taking lots of antioxidants while on chemo actually hurts your chances of being able to put the cancer into remission!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A little radiation is good for mice Low doses of radioactivity led to healthier pups http:\/\/www.sciencenews.org\/view\/generic\/id\/346280\/title\/A_little_radiation_is_good_for_mice I lamented earlier about people&#8217;s lack of risk knowledge regarding radiation.
