Book Review

The Cancer Link by J. J. ManganoImage

I own close to 400 books on nuclear power.  I've read over a hundred of them completely, in case you're wondering.  Take it from me: This one is special.

Joseph J. Mangano's newest book, Radioactive Baby Teeth: The Cancer Link, is written by a scientist, and is about science, but is hardly cold and dry.  Somehow in a mere 149 pages (plus ten pages of references), Mangano has written the definitive guide to understanding what the radiation debate is all about:  How we got where we are, how strong the scientific evidence against nuclear power really is, how bad the political situation really is, and what we've got to do to fix it -- he covers it all.

This book is absolutely monumental in its scope and I urge everyone to immediately purchase a copy.  [Subscribers to my newsletter including media may request a free copy directly from me].  Or you can spare me the expense and order your own copy directly from the unplug  Salem activist group which is handling the sales for Mangano (and who I will be ordering your copy from anyway).

Mangano is a gifted writer, and Radioactive Baby Teeth: The Cancer Link comes across as the detective story it is.  For most of us, by the end, he has established definitively enough who the guilty party is -- radiation.  But how can the good guys bring down the bad guys?  How can we stop nuclear power?

His book is how.  Send copies of Mangano's book to all your legislators, your governor, your local health officials, etc..  Demand that studies like the Tooth Fairy Project be done for all radioactive elements released from nuclear power plants (Mangano's book almost exclusively discusses only Strontium-90:  How they've tried to track Sr-90, and what cancers and deaths its presence is correlated with).

I'll give you one example of the sleazy statistical tricks used by pro-nuclear zealots, which Mangano coldly exposes and explains:

My local nuclear power plant, San Onofre, has had exactly one study of health effects around the plant done in nearly 40 years of operation.  And that one study only studied childhood cancer deaths at a time when medical breakthroughs were vastly increasing the survival rate of such cancers.  Death rates at the time (no longer) were, in fact, going down.

But incident rates were going up.   They never studied that.  They never studied the real problem.  And to this day San Onofre uses that awful, biased, disgusting satistical hogwash to "prove" San Onofre does not kill ***any*** children! It's a lie..

Okay, I'm getting excited here.  You will too.  Buy this book.  get excited.  Don't just wonder why you, or your parents, or your friends, or your child, or your sibling, or all of them, got cancer.  Nuclear power could be the answer, as this book explains.

In addition to his huge collection of nuclear-related books and videos, Hoffman has interviewed more than a thousand scientists on nuclear topics.  He is also an award-winning educational software developer whose programs are used in hundreds of universities.  His nuclear-related essays have appeared frequently on the Internet.
