Fukushima's High Radiation: It affects the U.S!

If you haven't already heard, Fukushima (a city in Japan) has been leaking about 300 tons of radioactive water daily into the Pacific Ocean since March of 2011. 

The Japan Times states, “In November, plans to begin the delicate operation of removing spent fuel [with] radiation equivalent to 14,000 times the amount released by the Hiroshima atomic bomb. Removing its spent fuel, which contains deadly plutonium, is an urgent task. The consequences could be far more severe than any nuclear accident the world has ever seen"

***100 times larger than Chernobyl


What are the most recent affects from this radiation?

The plant life around Fukushima shows mutations:



& in our West Coast....

Experts have found very high levels of cesium-137 in plankton living in the waters of the Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and the west coast

One test in California found that 15 out of 15 bluefin tuna were contaminated with radiation from Fukushima

Back in 2012, the Vancouver Sun reported that cesium-137 was being found in a very high %  of the fish that Japan was selling to Canada: 
• 92 percent of the sardines
• 93 percent of the tuna and eel
• 94 percent of the cod and anchovies
• 100 percent of the carp, seaweed, shark and monk fish

Plankton, bluefin tuna & other sea life collected between Hawaii & California are already testing high for radiation, these levels are expected to continue increasing!!!

What to do? 

-Don't eat fish from the Pacific, ESPECIALLY TUNA!
-No seaweed from Pacific either!
-Eat foods that protect against radiation: cilantro, milk thistle, ginseng, red clover, rosemary, broccoli & many more..

Say NO to GMO!

Before reading I would like to say that everything you buy counts! The public is offered the power of purchasing what they desire...with this power change can arise.

So, what is genetically modified food (GMO)?
The Non-GMO Project states, " they are plants or animals that have been genetically engineered w/ DNA from bacteria, viruses or other plants & animals. These experimental combinations of genes from different species cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding."

What is wrong w/ GMO?  
The pesticides: a direct result of super weeds becoming resistant to Monsanto’s Round-up pesticide in their GMO crops. The amount of allowable glyphosate (ROUNDUP) in oilseed crops such as flax, soybeans & canola will be increased from 20 parts per million (ppm) to 40 ppm, which GM Watch acknowledged is over 100,000 times the amount needed to induce breast cancer cells. .

The herbicides linked to our groundwater:
This groundwater contamination study from March, 2011, published in the journal Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, where researchers found the chemical in 60-100% of all air & rain samples tested, indicating that glyphosate pollution and exposure is now omnipresent in the US.

*Keep in mind that glyphosate is considered by the EPA as a Class III toxic substance, fatal to an adult at 30 grams, &has been linked to over 20 adverse health effects in the peer-reviewed, biomedical literature.

What to do?
Look for packages w/ the non-gmo project label on it, buy organic & do your research on all products, NOT JUST FOOD. GMO is in products such as:
