(Organic Slant) In Ohio, and all over the western United States, Fukushima radiation is in U.S. grass fed beef and dairy from contaminated grass.
Three years have passed, there’s been alot of radiation released from the Fukushima nuclear meltdowns. The rain storms that blow moisture from the Pacific Ocean are deposited as fallout on the grasses that are consumed by the cows.
The radiation is making it’s way up the food chain. Milk samples are being tested by the U.S. EPA. Check here for your state. RadNet Data
This means cattle are EATING radioactive feed. The radiation has to go somewhere, and it does; into the skin, muscles, blood and bodily fluids (like milk).
The West Coast states (California Department of Public Health, took samples of vegetation) will most likely contain more radiation than the East.
The presence of Cesium-137 two to three years after the Fukushima accident in test samples, shows that this situation is here to stay and is more than likely getting worse.
The numbers may be at a so-called safe level, the fact that it IS being found in Cleveland, Ohio milk samples in 2013 proves that the crippled nuclear power plants are leaking today and will continue into the future spewing tons of radioactive materials for thousands of years.
To bad it takes months for the samples to be posted.
The information that is relayed to the public, make it sound like “radiation below acceptable levels” is OK for you. Well, it’s NOT! There are many studies available, just a few – here, here and here, about the effects of ionizing (man made/nuclear) radiation on human and all other organisms on this planet. NO level of this kind of radiation is safe for any living thing on this planet, please investigate this more for yourself.
I don’t see the urgency to aid the efforts to control any of the meltdowns NOT under control, let alone stepping up testing of our food supply.
A retailer in Tokyo is displaying levels of radioactive cesium found in its fruits and vegetables, to alleviate any concerns about radioactive materials on produce.
The radioactive isotope caesium-137 has a half-life of about 30 years and is used in medical applications, industrial gauges, and hydrology. Although the element is only mildly toxic, it is a hazardous material as a metal and its radioisotopes present a high health risk if released into the environment.
The body can’t distinguish cesium from potassium, so it’s taken up by our cells and becomes an internal source of radiation. Cesium-137 is a gamma emitter and its half-life of 30 years means that it stays in the soil, to concentrate in the food chain, for over 300 years. While iodine-131 remains radioactive for six weeks, cesium-137 stays in the body for decades, concentrating in muscle where it irradiates muscle cells and nearby organs.
People may ingest cesium-137 with food and water, or may inhale it as dust. If cesium-137 enters the body, it is distributed fairly uniformly throughout the body’s soft tissues, resulting in exposure of those tissues. Slightly higher concentrations of the metal are found in muscle, while slightly lower concentrations are found in bone and fat.
Like all radionuclides, exposure to radiation from cesium-137 results in increased risk of cancer. Everyone is exposed to very small amounts of cesium-137 in soil and water as a result of atmospheric fallout. Exposure to waste materials, from contaminated sites, or from nuclear accidents can result in cancer risks much higher than typical environmental exposures.
Maybe we should take a serious look at the possible dangerous levels of radiation in our food supply since it is a total mystery at this point.
Readers are strongly advised to BEWARE of milk and beef.
