Exposure to X-rays has measurable biological effects on the human body
Extensive scientific literature confirms that exposure to ionizing radiation, including X-rays, produces distinct and measurable biological effects on the human body, ranging from cellular DNA damage to physiological inflammation and gene expression changes.
The claim that exposure to X-rays and ionizing radiation has measurable biological effects on the human body is specific, falsifiable, and strongly supported by numerous peer-reviewed studies detailing DNA damage, cellular stress responses, gene regulation changes, and tissue-level alterations.
