After testing rice near a crippled nuclear plant in Japan, Japanese researchers found high levels of radiation in the rice. The researchers took a sample of unharvested rice and found that it contained 500 becquerels of cesium per kilogram. The radioactive cesium came from the Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant after the earthquake on March 11.

Until the rice containing 500 bacquerels of cesium per kilogram was found, they tested over 400 spots in Fukushima prefecture and found 136 bacquerels per kilogram was the highest level.

Nations are still wary of importing food from Japan after the nuclear event. People are still concerned with radiation levels in the food, and for good reason. Under Japanese regulation, rice containing as much as 500 bacquerels of cesium per kilogram is considered safe. However, no amount of radiation should be considered “safe.”

Consuming radiated food and being subject to radiation provides no health benefits. The radiation level in your body build up, and never decreases. Once one reaches a certain radiation point, one will begin to experience radiation sickness. As radiation levels in the body increase, so do the chances of experiencing complications such as the ones listed below.

  • A d v e r t i s e m e n t
  • Radiation in Rice Found in Japan

– Genetic defects in children of exposed parents

– Mental retardation in unborn children of exposed mothers

– Damage to the Gastrointestinal tract leading to nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea (too much radiation could destroy the lining of the GI tract which could be fatal)

– Thyroid damage ultimately leading to cancer

– Damage to bone marrow which may cause the body to be highly susceptible to infection and may also cause bleeding

  1. in regards to phone message left for campaign for liberty 3 months ago detailing the urgent need to provide emergency housing and employment for the fukushima/earthquake refugees in japan:

    what would jesus do?
    what would jesus do?
    you might not want to ask me,
    but if you did i’d tell you
    he’d fly them in on a plane
    that’s red white and blue,
    of course then he’d feed them too
    and give them good work to do

    when i eventually call
    old ron paul, (and i swear i’m going to!)
    i’m gonna ask him, gonna fax him,
    “what would jesus do?”
    because if i knew
    i’d tell you,
    because i’m red white and blue,
    through and through–
    and i’m not afraid to tell you
    what i think we ought to do,

    take our rights back from the oppressors
    and give them back to me and you
    then maybe we’d have time to think about
    what would jesus do
