Indeedy. Look at the BIER reports. 10 REMS of exposure increases your cancer threat by 1%, according to the latest. That’s perhaps 2 abdominal CAT scans, and scads of “chest x-rays”, and 40 hours of plane flight.

And look up Radiation Hormesis, the theory that some exposure may be beneficial. We live in an environment with a fair amount of natural radiation, it would be no surprise if we adapted to it and used it to our benefit.

Then there are all the Fiestaware plates out there.

We have a nice set of orange red Fiestaware, just right for those southwestern hot pepper dishes.
