I'm not arguing with you as nuclear physics have never been my strong suit, but here are a couple articles which suggest otherwise. I hope to not die of cancer. :(

wow. You know, the more and more I learn about scientists and science, the less I trust some of the 'science'. Just because someone says something, doesn't make it true. If the scientific process hasn't been done, then it's not science. I just finished a book called "The History of Nearly Everything". I think it applies to this thread, and it's a great read too.
