Once, doing anything to gain electricity was considered rational, thus, nuclear power generation. Now, what we are getting is an spontaneous, organic knowledge infrastructure accumulating right alongside the spread of radiation. Governments, labs, universities, nuclear engineers, doctors, physicists, whistleblowers, victims, citizens and activist groups – all measuring radiation levels in their particular region or area of interest, then posting it for everyone else.This did not exist before Fukushima. While the largest amounts of radiation from Japan may remain concentrating in Japan if there are no further explosions, what will continue to disperse and spread and bioaccumulate is starting to be tracked and measured and modeled. People at all levels of their societies are seeing just how invisible radiation travels short and long distances, and this becomes irrefutable, even by the nuclear industry. The knowledge path may follow the radiation dispersal path. People in ever greater numbers will begin to look at the reactor in their own backyard differently and with growing suspicion. It becomes the only rational thing to do.

Vic: I have now given up all produce from California. Had to pass up those good looking cherries from Washington the other day. Food choices will have to change. Midwest produce is probably not much better. Any flowering fruit will concentrate cesium in the fruit. Organic doesn't mean radiation free. Still shopping at the farmers market.

If tree fruit and nuts have cesium… Then root and surface crops are much more contaminated because of greater concentrations in the soil and more prolonged contact with contaminated water. Carrots, lettuce, broccoli, and potatoes are going to outdo the almond values.

Sickputer, are you sure? The parts of the trees above the ground accumulate a lot of cesium. I mention this because of the high amounts of cesium found in the pollen of cedar trees in Japan.
Am really wondering because I thought I'd read here last year (Forum?) the nuts are less contaminated than some other parts of plants (trees anyway).
A smart person here (Anne?) said it depends upon what time of year the crop is harvested, and whether or not it has rained.
Ongoing airborne contamination — how does this affect fruits and nuts? There must be data from post-Chernobyl Ukraine.

Sickputer, I'm not saying you're wrong on that. I'd just never heard that before.

No problem…I am just assuming two things about ground crops versus tree crops…larger surface area of the ground crop product and constant exposure to topsoil and irrigating water.
You may have heard how toxic mushrooms and leafy plants become and also rice plants are just a siphon for radiation in the water. More research is in order…

I live just above a primary California almond growing county. The snow pack was light this year. (light rains too)
However, the water still feeds the lakes, which feed the orchards in the valley below. I know this has been accumulating and CONCENTRATING with each and every run off.
The plan for long term non-stop radioactive fallout contamination (of not just cesium, but all of it, ie… PLUTONIUM), is that there is NO PLAN!
There will be no future plan either. Slowly, too slowly, people are starting to realize this.
We've taken a 'hit' and we will continue to be 'hit' with fallout and it's insidious consequences.
What will it be like in another year? 5 or 10 years?
Add in the factor that the worlds largest catastrophe has an extremely high probability of becoming far worse soon. Take that times 'X' unknown and the picture becomes even more clear as to the real magnitude of this ever expanding non-stop man-made folly.

Sickputer, have read reports stating the Cesium stays within the top 8 cm or so of the soil.

The soil depth of radioactive cesium varies, but 2-5 inches is probably a fair average estimate for many types of topsoil. Depth depends on time in years of deposits, the soil density, amount of snow/rainfall and irrigation, and tilling of the soil.

SP, here's a link to a browser search I did using Kazuya Tanaka as a search term. I always get his name confused with the pro-nuclear professor who was providing nuclear "education" to the public shortly after the accident. He is the one whom the students were trying to prevent from speaking publicly, about a year ago.
If I'm not mistaken, Enenews has published at least one article where Dr. Tanaka or one of the other authors was interviewed, critiquing the handling of the Fukushima accident. It might be Yoshio Takahashi, or Takashi Saito. It's also possible these men have granted multiple interviews. I thought one of them gave his expert opinion on the status of the number 4 SFP. Maybe that was someone else. (Too tired to fact check this myself, right now.)
It's hard to imagine they would be pro-nuclear, given their fields, and their being affiliated with Hiroshiima University. Might they not be considered traitors if they are in Hiroshima, and are pro-nuclear. I suppose anything is possible.
Dr. Tanaka and his co-authors appear to be reliable, at least at first glance. They are solidly seated in the fields of biology, medicine, and such. One would not expect them to have a pro-nuke bias.
At any rate, have a look and see what you think. I clicked through on one of the links to informaation on Dr. Tanaka, by doing a search at the Hiroshima University website.

That's what I used to think, too. Check this out:
http://www.organicfacts.net/organic-oils/organic-coconut-oil/health-benefits-of-coconut-oil.html
"The health benefits of coconut oil include hair care, skin care, stress relief, maintaining cholesterol levels, weight loss, increased immunity, proper digestion and metabolism, relief from kidney problems, heart diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, HIV and cancer, dental care, and bone strength. These benefits of coconut oil can be attributed to the presence of lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid, and its properties such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, soothing, etc."
Wonderful stuff. Helps whiten the teeth, too, and detoxifies the body if used with a technique called "oil pulling."
Too much coconut oil isn't good to consume, but if one eats a healthy balance of fats, it's actually quite good.
Cholesterol is essential to life and metabolism, too (which I didn't used to know). Some argue high cholesterol levels aren't much good at predicting heart disease risk.
My opinion based on what my new doctors have shared with me. I no longer believe everything the "diet dictocrats" all telling us. Am looking more at what indigenous people ate, and what their diets were like. So far, health has improved by leaps and bounds over the past 2 1/2 years. And in spite of Fukushima, surprisingly enough.

Coconut oil, in the article above, is said to improve absorption of calcium and magnesium. Radioactive isotopes (Dr. Busby mentioned which ones in one of his videos) displace calcium and magnesium.
Maybe if one timed the intake of coconut oil, and calcium and magnesium properly, one could reduce the intake and/or body burden of these isotopes. Just a thought.

Radioactive heavy metals and substances do not DISPLACE normal minerals.
They are absorbed IN PLACE OF normal minerals.
For example, if you load up on iodine and are then exposed to radioactive iodine, the gland is full and will take in very little additional radioactive iodine.
But if you are NOT taking iodine, are deficient in iodine and/or are not fully loaded, and are then exposed to radioactive iodine, the thyroid gland will absorb radioactive iodine just like the 'normal' iodine.
Each radioactive substance MIMICS a normal mineral and is absorbed like it's cousin, especially if there is a deficiency of the non radioactive mineral.
Cesium – potassium
Strontium – calcium
etc…
Anyone have a full list?

Been using and eating pure virgin organic coconut oil for years it comes mainly from the Philippines, Peru and Sri Lanka. Palm oil is something else and if your not eating certified organic of that, then you are also helping to support one of the World's worst deforestation crops. Coconut oil is superb and has so many culinary and medicinal uses, including the treatment of Aids. These are all things (like Fuku radiation) you will hear little about in the MSM because they are nutritional and Allopathy has no time for that. StopGo, if you eat certified organic food from a local shop, with a mission statement you know exactly where everything comes from. If you have to pay more it's because organic doesn't get subsidies and the mission statement shows you the company pays producers a fair price and they in turn pay fair workers' wages. Also why buy things with multiple ingredients, just buy basic items and make the stuff yourself.

Here's some good info from three years after Chernobyl that addresses our earlier discussion on the magnitude of radiation fallout in tree nuts/fruits versus ground crops:
Excerpts from the FAO (Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations):
"Clearly, the absorption coefficient will be higher for leafy vegetable (e.g., cabbage) than sparsely-leaved crops (e.g., tomato or onion). Moreover, it is important to note that while most of freshly harvested vegetables might be consumed, only the fruits of tomato plants, nut and pome trees, etc. would be consumed."
"Forest cover would also be associated with high interception (77, Vol. I, p. 23) but relatively small proportions would be likely to become absorbed by fruit, nuts, etc"

The nuclear cabal governments have many corporate friends to protect. Your ranking for protection status is the bottom of the list.
What savvy consumers need is inexpensive food analyzers for home use. Average $200 to $2000 Geiger counters won't help. Currently decent analyzers are ten times that much. But I expect to see them break under $1,000 when things get progressively worse.
