[QUOTE="Jim_in_NZ, post: 1843687, member: 280704"] The [U]percentage[/U] figures for increased risk of cancer are not very high. If they gave the [U]absolute[/U] risk figures, I suspect that they would be too low to worry about. An extra 15% of a very low risk is still a very low risk. Just because it is statistically significant does not mean that it is clinically significant. (Just a general statement to help keep things in proportion - I haven't read the original paper.)
