But the interesting thing is that it made me think about radiation exposure. Sure I am afraid of heart disease, but with a relatively healthy lifestyle and being fairly young, it is something that is on the back burner. But the fact that radiation is ACCUMULATIVE throughout our lifetime freaked me out when I was reading the book. I started thinking about the x-rays I got a few ago from my car accident and the MRI (which by the way does not exposure you to radiation since it uses magnetic imaging). Then I started thinking about the x-rays from my tooth canal and when I fractured my wrist... the list goes on. But let's just say that I made a pact with myself always question any recommendation from any medical person for radiation exposure. After all I do not want to use up my allotment early on in my life. :D @Sagan – I really like this book. But the interesting thing is that it made me think about radiation exposure.
