Rice grown in the radioactive Fukushima region approved to go on sale in the UK

[MindWars]

In late June 2016, the Telegraph reported that the United Kingdom would soon be allowing rice grown from the radiation-contaminated Fukushima region of Japan to be sold on store shelves again. This will be the first time food from this region will be sold in the UK since the 2011 accident occurred.

Rice grown in the radioactive Fukushima region approved to go on sale in the UK
======================================================================
Don't think the the US won't see this bs either. We aren't any different. Don't worry though they'll tell you it's what caused your cancer twenty years later lol oh wait you won't be around then.

Just think how rich the health insurance companies will be and the big pharma's too lmao.


Just use google translate

This will make the UK the third country to actually allow a product grown in the heavily irradiated region to be sold for human consumption, following behind Malaysia and Singapore. The new rice product will be called Ten No Tsubu. According to Google Translate, the name means “grain of heaven” – which is rather ironic, considering that is exactly where you will go after eating irradiated food!

Why do you fear irradiated food?

I heard that after you eat some of that rice, it makes you post links to inforwars all day long on internet forums. Is that true Mindwars?

The most important thing to do immediately after the accident was to restrict the consumption of locally produced milk and green leafy vegetables, which are known to concentrate [radioactive] iodine,” she says, as opposed to the healthy, natural iodine found in some seafood. “This the Japanese government did very well – in contrast to the Soviet authorities following the Chernobyl accident. The Japanese continue to monitor foodstuffs, and [they] have imposed even stricter limits on radiation in foodstuffs from Fukushima prefecture than we have for our own produce in the U.K. and the U.S.”

Dr. Ian Fairlie, an independent consultant on radioactivity in the environment who is closely monitoring Fukushima says that Japanese should fear radiation – just not necessarily in the region’s food. “Contaminated food intakes are a relatively small part of the problem. People near Fukushima are more exposed via direct radiation (groundshine): smaller doses also come from water intakes, and from inhalation.”

Adds Professor Thomas: “Both the World Health Organization and the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation agree that the biggest threat to health post Fukushima is the fear of radiation, not the radiation itself. Personally I would have no worries about consuming food from Fukushima – and in fact did so when I was in Tokyo last April.”

Seems it has more restrictions than the UK and the US, so far as food for sell that is irradiated. Should be safe.

Ahhhh a little radiation in the rice may wipe out any future cancer cells silently growing inside your body.
I could see a whole new batch of Japanese monster movies over this....

This will make the UK the third country to actually allow a product grown in the heavily irradiated region to be sold for human consumption, following behind Malaysia and Singapore. The new rice product will be called Ten No Tsubu.

Why do you fear irradiated food?

has anyone even bothered testing the rice?

you see the source, and you realize they tell the public lying bs ................ There is fear dig deeper.

Why do they put a lead vest over you during an X ray? Hmmmm cause that part of your body isn't suppose to be getting radiated, Why does the nurse taking the x ray for you step out of the room. ... So she doesn't get radiated...

They do. It has to have less in it than even the UK or US requires to be sold.

Irradiation damages the quality of food.
· Irradiation damages food by breaking up molecules and creating free radicals. The free radicals kill some bacteria, but they also bounce around in the food, damage vitamins and enzymes, and combine with existing chemicals (like pesticides) in the food to form new chemicals, called unique radiolytic products (URPs).
· Some of these URPs are known toxins (benzene, formaldehyde, lipid peroxides) and some are unique to irradiated foods. Scientists have not studied the long-term effect of these new chemicals in our diet. Therefore, we cannot assume they are safe.
· Irradiated foods can lose 5%-80% of many vitamins (A, C, E, K and B complex). The amount of loss depends on the dose of irradiation and the length of storage time.
· Most of the food in the American diet is already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for irradiation: beef, pork, lamb, poultry, wheat, wheat flour, vegetables, fruits, shell eggs, seeds for sprouting, spices, herb teas. (Dairy is already pasteurized). A food industry petition currently before the FDA asks for approval for luncheon meats, salad bar items, sprouts, fresh juices and frozen foods. Another petition before the USDA asks for approval for imported fruits and vegetables.
· Irradiation damages the natural digestive enzymes found in raw foods. This means the body has to work harder to digest them.
· If unlabeled, raw foods that have been irradiated look like fresh foods, but nutritionally they are like cooked foods, with decreased vitamins and enzymes. The FDA allows these foods to be labeled "fresh."
· Irradiated fats tend to become rancid.
· When high-energy electron beams are used, trace amounts of radioactivity may be created in the food.

Science has not proved that a long-term diet of irradiated foods is safe for human health.
What's wrong with food irradiation?

just seems wrong. I can't imagine that it's safe. but then again, I didn't think the air in NYC was safe after 9/11 but Christie Whitman said it was. That didn't work out so well.

was that supposed to be a response, cookie?

Uhhm, because, potentially, but minutely, exposure can effect fertility. And X-ray techs deal with X-rays daily, thus their stepping out of the room. I haven’t been given a lead vest to wear when I get X-rays. I’ve had numerous, and still alive and kicking.

Why do you fear irradiated food?

For the same reason Russia had banned microwaves. when food is Radiated it kills all the vitamans and nutrients within the food.....
Another reason cancer and disease is off the charts we are not getting from food what we use to before we nuked it all.

Because they're fucking morons?

Link?

You think all food is irradiated?

Because radiation is different than irradiated.
