Surprised you feel this way..hope your right
I heard this morning it was found in milk in WA state
only heard it once... and possibly, I misunderstood.

from the story:
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Results from screening samples of milk taken in the past week in Spokane, Washington, and in San Luis Obispo County, California, detected <span style="font-weight: bold">radioactive iodine at a level 5,000 times lower than the limit</span> set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, officials said.</div></div>

wonder why they they don't compare it to &quot;normal&quot; levels?

and this:
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">&quot;According to them, a pint of milk at these levels would expose an individual to less radiation than would a five-hour airplane flight.&quot;</div></div>
then they go on to say that this type of radiation has a 8 day half life.

Like I said, Hope your right.
you give me hope...but

for every action there is a reaction.

I'd like to read BP thoughts on this

stop yuh foolishness.
did yoiu read snow white and the seven dwarfs too?
</div></div>

i actually never read snow white but i am familiar with the story from my childhood- the time when i used to read fairy tales...
but i am a realist---- revelations is a very interesting book with very interesting allegories...
there is no doubt that the world has reached a crossroads where humanity has to decide which direction we want to go; the present crises are an example of this...

so i don't subscribe to fairy tales...
i am simply able to read/watch/listen to information and take something from it...
rather than make knee-jerk reactions based on ideology/religion;


bottom line- radiation is not good for you

Consumer Information:

The Food and Drug Administration has approved irradiation of meat and poultry and allows its use for a variety of other foods, including fresh fruits and vegetables, and spices. The agency determined that the process is safe and effective in decreasing or eliminating harmful bacteria.

Raytheon uses millimeter-wave radiation to keep food safe
Published 2 October 2009

Missile and defense contractor Raytheon offers a solution which uses millimeter-wave radiation to pasteurize food; new method is both healthier and more energy efficient than current pasteurization technologies

Raytheon is associated with missiles and defense-related technologies, and millimeter-wave radiation is associated with full-body security scans at airports’ check points. Raytheon and millimeter-wave radiation together, though, would from now be associated with healthier food.

Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) has developed a pasteurization technology that can be integrated into the food supply chain resulting in both energy reduction for the food production market and healthier and safer products for consumers.

The technology delivers concentrated energy to the surface of the food, reducing the amount of wasted energy that exists in current pasteurization methods. Unlike current solutions, this technology does not rely on chemicals or ionizing radiation to destroy harmful bacteria, but rather uses the heat produced by millimeter waves to kill harmful bacteria. A more efficient solution, 95 percent of the energy produced is directed to the food surface. This is particularly useful for ground meats and citrus, which commonly have higher risk of bacterial contamination.

“Since we patented the first microwave oven nearly 65 years ago, Raytheon has had a rich history of developing innovative solutions for our customers,” said Lee Silvestre, vice president of Mission Innovation for Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems. “As our world food supply is becoming increasingly susceptible to contamination, it is important that we continue to develop healthier, more efficient methods to keep our food supply safe.”

In recent tests using multiple samples of meat pre-contaminated with three harmful bacteria, the system killed all three in less than sixteen seconds. These results demonstrate several benefits: This solution is healthier than a chemical wash and more energy efficient than direct heat methods. Additionally, because this technology can be incorporated into existing food processing lines, pasteurization results are achieved more quickly than bulk pasteurization using ionizing radiation.

then we wonder why cancer is so prevalent in modern times...

no need to wonder

Re: .. Japan's radiation and sealife.. sci-fi stuff?

i have a radiation theory (concern) about these 50+ inch lcd and plasma scrrens that has become the craze..
i wouldnt be surprised that a few years from now a study will show that emmitions from these devices cause some kinda detrimental effects..

any evidence on those?

Re: .. Japan's radiation and sealife.. sci-fi stuff?

co-sign wot u say X.....even though I have those screens so what they are saying now about the dangers of the radiation that escape pose no threat or miniman....in another five years or so wondering if they will change their tune and say dem was wrong

ehhhhm btw I have no evidence of detrimental effect ot those 50+inch lcd/plasma screen.
