Good news and bad news about Fukishima......... [View all]

First the bad news..

Report: Fukushima dust harms California babies

Radioactive dust from the Fukushima disaster has harmed the health of babies thousands of miles away in California.
The report raises question about safety in Japan itself.
Ecologist reported Tuesday that new studies show a “significant increase in hypothyroidism among babies in California, 5,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean.”
Scientists earlier said the low doses that reached California could do no harm.
Research on this problem is facilitated by a law that requires that all babies born in California be tested at birth for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone levels.
Previous studies have found unborn babies sensitive to internal fission products.

Good news:

Certain mushrooms, cannabinoids, terpenes, hemp and hempseeds can be used to clean up and protect us from radioactive pollution from Japan's Fukushima power plant and other nuclear disasters.
