Using simple logic and the laws of nature, is there really any “safe” food in the Northern Hemisphere? In my opinion, how could there be? Unless, of course, it’s been grown in a green house.
Once radionuclides are released into the environment they circulate and are carried with the winds until they become part of the soil and food chain. They land in our drinking water, are on the pastures that our livestock graze on, are on our vegetables and in our fruit trees.
This is particularly dangerous for humans because we are at the top of the food chain, where the higher concentrations of radionuclides are.
Most Common Diseases From Ionizing Radiation:
* leukemia
* lymphoma
* solid tumors or any organ
* bone & blood disorders
* lung cancer
* breast cancer
* endocrine disruption
* reproductive abnormalities
* accelerated aging process
* birth defects
* congenital malformations
* kidney, liver damage
These diseases and mutations don’t stop with us. If ionizing radiation enters our genes, not only does it cause irreversible damage to this generation, but to future generations, as evidenced by children being born years after Chernobyl.
The CDC recently reported 27,752 increased US Deaths, attributed to effects of radiation from Fukushima. These numbers will increase.
Since most of us don’t happen to have the ability to pop off to another home in Rio, we are forced to manage the best we can in a horrible situation. There will be millions who will EVENTUALLY suffer premature deaths from Fukushima. But millions more will survive.
Those will be the people that take appropriate measures to protect themselves. Which will you be?
