(PhantomWolf) Diabities is caused by Uranium? I guess someone must have nuked South Auckland then. Perhaps there is a far more obvious reason that Diabetes and Cancer are on the increase since the 1940's. Diet.

Maybe diabetes is caused by more than one thing. I'm just a layman but if the medical community sees a statistical link and can't explain it right away, don't they do a study to see if there is anything to it? Aren't they conservative if they see a statistical link even if they don't understand the cause right away.
I don't think you guys are using the "Scientific method". You're coming to conclusions based on only intuition.

Have you not read the posts by people that have handled DU or live near uranium mines?
|
Aren't the conditions different. DU munitions get pulverized into dust. Again, wouldn't a study have to be done?

David, you can draw statistical connections between anything If you like to show a link. Even between the number of pirates and global warming.
|
So are you saying that a statistical link means nothing. I think a study is in order.
Quote:
It looks like the medical community sees a statistical connection between DU and diabetes and they don't even know how DU can cause diabetes.
That's because there's no plausible causal connection between the two.

What credentials do you have? I have none but I always thought that a study was in order in cases like this before statements like that could be made.

If a doctor is worried about it, I'm worried about it.
There are doctors who insist that AIDS is not caused by the HIV virus. Who insist that the polio vaccine is a Western plot to sterilize Muslim populations. That ground-up peach pits cure cancer. Who believe in telepathy/remote viewing/precognition/"touch therapy"/psychic spoon-bending. Who claim that a few kilograms of plutonium-238 from an RTG accident would kill most of the Earth's population*. Who believe that not only can a dilution of a certain toxin beyond one-to-the-number-of-particles-in-the-universe can cure a given disease, but can do so over the telephone.

If doctors are worried about it, it's not something to take lightly.

The woman who talks in this video has a Ph.D...
Don't you think there's a slight chance that what she says reflects reality?
Sure. There's also a chance she's a blithering idiot. There are Ph.Ds who insist the Earth was created six thousand years ago, or that it's the center of the Universe, or <see list above>.

Tell me something that she said that makes you think she's incompetent. She sounds like she's being very careful not to be dogmatic.
When I posted those links, my intention was just to share the info and start a discussion. I know I haven't been answering all of your questions but I'm a bit busy now and don't have a lot of time to devote to this thread. I'll try to do better.
