Radioactive Bluefin Tuna Caught Off California Coast

Mercury in fish, now this?

When contact with radioactive cesium occurs, which is highly unlikely, a person can experience cell damage due to radiation of the cesium particles. Due to this, effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and bleeding may occur. When the exposure lasts a long time, people may even lose consciousness. Coma or even death may then follow. How serious the effects are depends upon the resistance of individual persons and the duration of exposure and the concentration a person is exposed to.
- well, considering cesium which has the lower lifespan of the few byproducts, has been leaking into the pacific for 2 years now at rates that cant even be measured, id say that 'highly unlikely' scenario is more like 'i just grew a third arm'.

Another reason to leave tuna alone and choose something else. There are plenty more fish in the sea ... ba-dum-tish.

> Immediately off my diet
I don't get the complaints - this is a seafood that practically cooks itself.

you shouldn't be eating bluefin tuna anyway

fish alternatives :/
not the same.
- You have to get the oil fresh non processed, you cant digest whole flaxseed.yurimon
- if your a guy its not so great cause it helps with female hormone creationyurimon
- grounded flax seed for omega. what's the alternative(s)?ohhhhhsnap
- eggs, fish eggs, cod liver oil, fish oil fresh as possible, fish.yurimon

also here's an app to help you figure out what fish to eat -- and what really might not be so great right now... in Cali (but really across the US) http://www.montereybayaquarium.o…
- yep. bluefin is rated red worldwidesine
- i use the wwf guide.sine
- wwf? link?ohhhhhsnap

The radiation levels presented by the increased cesium concentrations contribute to an overall 3% higher than natural background radiation level.
The FDA Derived Intervention Level (DIL) for radioactive cesium isotopes in food is 1200 Bq/kg... the detected levels were 5 Bq/kg
If you eat tuna at the DIL every day for a year, you are looking at an estimated 1/4,400 increased risk of cancer. So, if you eat the tuna with current cesium levels every single day for a year, you're looking at a risk somewhere in the range of one in a million (rough estimate)

its already hit Hawaii, Alaska, NZ, and some of the west coast. its also going to effect south america's coast as well. give this 5-7 years or so.
Then we'll be glad we put reactors right on the water.- actually that link was taken down because i believe it was showing wave height not radiation

farm in creotia prob next best thing, however look into fish farming in general, thats a minus so far from what i read.

anywhere from 300 to possibly over 450 tons of contaminated water that contains radioactive iodone, cesium, and strontium-89 and 90, is flooding into the Pacific Ocean from the Fukushima Daichi site everyday.
