A quick google search will produce articles from Discover magazine, BBC and other sources in which scientists claim, backed by studies, that some radiation is better than no radiation. That's what the scientists say. And small doses of arsenic are better than no arsenic at all. Do you realize that the sun emits radiation? That's not to say that there are not dangerous levels of radiation in Japan, but the media makes no attempt to quantify the levels. Is 1 hr exposure more than a dental xray?

@CougarFanboy....the suns radiation is different than what came out of the nuclear plant.....and I have melanin in my skin which protects from the suns rays as long as I don't sun bathe.....as far as the studies from whoever that claim a little radiation is good you.....I can gurantee you whatever they claim the posititve health benefits of this radiation are...you can find a natural homeopathic solution that is far better.

@adizzle64 Homeopathic solutions are diluted to levels where it's equivalent to one drop in the sea, in short it's just water. It's purely placebo. Do some reading on it :) I have a feeling you mistook "homeopathic" to mean something else?

That sicko Ann Coulter should be put inside in that blown up nuclear plant in Fukushima and left to die like a bitch she is. I don't know what the hell is in her psycho mind but what I know it's not what any intelligent human would think.

What u know fool....i put radiation on my fruit loops in the morning and i aint doing so bad...now i must amit i ain't got no hair left and my fingernails are falling out,but i sure do feel damn fine, i radiate good health....and i glow in the dark.Now if you ain't man enough to give up a little hair and a fingernail or 2 to be able to glow in the dark you NEED to re-watch Ann's report again!!

Anne Coulter is right radiation is the shit, who doesn't want a child with 3 arms and no eyes.

@nsecchi Google "radiation hormesis". In point of fact, many scientists believe, just as Ann Coulter asserted, that small amounts of radiation are more healthy than no radiation at all.

@adizzle64 Bullshit. No amount of radiation is good for you. Any amount of alpha, beta, gamma, or xray radiation causes cell damage. The only beneficial effect might be in the damage of dna which maybe perhaps have a random effect of assisting animals to evolve. Radiation might be the primary evolutionary agent that causes evolutionary change over time.

@nsecchi Have you ever heard of UV rays? They're not all shielded by earth's "robust shield", as anyone with a sunburn can attest. A little radiation that goes all the way through the body isn't too bad in small amounts. Sometimes doctors beam radiation to stop cancer cells. No one is arguing that the radiation levels in Japan are dangerous in some areas. But that doesn't negate Ann Coulter's point.

@CougarFanboy The earth maintains a robust shield against harmful radiation. If you mean that heat radiation comes from the sun that is correct. However the earth is shielded from just the type of radiation from the sun that is emitted from a nuclear power station in meltdown.
