Radiation hormesis isn’t a fringe theory though[1]. Now it may not be correct I can’t speak to that. I do know though that many reputable scientists consider it a possibility. The body produces useful adaptations to pretty much every other stressor in sufficiently low doses so why would radiation be different, especially given that life evolved in the presence thereof.
Edit: I wouldn’t be shocked though if the typical background dose is close to the maximum hormetic exposure and all but the smallest additional dosage starts the slide down the curve.
