It was the U.S. military itself that organized the study of the radiation effects of atomic bombs—a situation akin to granting a criminal credibility in counting their victims.

When breast cancer incidence after bombing was reported in 1979 (Tokunaga et al, JNCI) in women over 40 at the time of the bombing, there was only 107 breast cancers in a population of 18,464 women over a period of 24 years, which is the main period of occurrence of breast cancer. Today, the lifetime risk of breast cancer is 1 in 8 in the USA.

It is simply impossible to believe results in the fields where the US army is involved.

Let me understand better. "significant upward curvature among males (P=0.001) but not among females (P=0.624)" is comparing the quadratic fit to the 'no-effect' dose-response? Or to the LNT dose-response?

And how can there be such vast differences between male and female?

And the parameters in Figure 2 are those of your SNT fit, not shown?
