Let's
take an example from far afield: breast cancer and pollution of the
environment by synthetic chemicals posing as estrogen. There are about
216 such chemicals, rather about 216 plus Uranium. A good example of
the ghettoization of the nuclear issue: although the estrogenic effects
of Uranium were reported before 2008 (Raymond-Whish, et al.) [2007] Drinking Water with Uranium below the U.S. EPA Water Standard Causes Estrogen Receptor--Dependent Responses in Female Mice. Environ Health Perspect 115:1711-6 and Getz JE, et al. [2005]. Uranium Mimics ER-Dependant Responses Mediating Rapid Cell Surface Morphological Changes in Mcf-7 Human Breast Cancer Cells.
