Radioactive Tuna-fish; Sandwich, Anyone? NOAA Says Eat UP it high confidence with the best information available which equated to random samplings and a 40% testing of all seafood coming into our ports. 40 PERCENT? No wonder NMFS/NOAA is killing the fishing industry with catch shares and such; they too are now using inadequacy to incomplete data for the consumption of fish products, which could kill you some day?
ACCORDING TO NOAA,FDA & the EPA:
US SEAFOOD SAFE and Unaffected by Radiation Contamination from Japanese
Nuclear Power Plant Incident; U.S. Monitoring Control Strategy Explained
Based on both the information “currently available “ about radiation contamination from the Japanese nuclear
power plant incident and on the control measures in place and monitoring efforts by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have “high confidence” in the safety of seafood products in the U.S.
marketplace or exported U.S. seafood products.
DID YOU READ THAT? THINK ABOUT WHAT YOUR GOVERNMENT TOLD YOU:
“Based on both the information currently available” KEY PHRASE HERE, ( currently available ), tells you nothing but upon reading it, sounds safe but does not say it is safe, instead it says, “High Confidence” in the products; double talk for you eat it but not me.”
The migration of tuna and other species of fish from the coast of Japan to U.S. waters would take days or
months under the best of circumstances, and vessels fishing beyond U.S. waters must also travel several days
to return to port. During that time needed for a fish contaminated by radiation in Japan to migrate, be caught
and reach the market, the level of short‐lived radionuclide such as I‐131 would drop significantly through
natural radioactive decay. To date, no significantly elevated radiation levels have been detected in migratory
species, including North Pacific albacore. Would you take the chance that it might be at a “significant” lower lever of radionuclide 1-131, to serve for your kids lunch box? “There is no safe level of radionuclide exposure, whether from food, water or other sources. Period…. Exposure to radionuclide, such as iodine-131 and cesium-137, increases the incidence of cancer. For this reason, every effort must be taken to minimize the radionuclide content in food and water.” Physicians for Social Responsibility, psr.org
THE SOFT SELL:
But in its news release today, NOAA just told you, my fellow Americans, “During that time needed for a fish contaminated by radiation in Japan to migrate, be caught
and reach the market, the level of short‐lived radionuclide such as I‐131 would drop significantly through
natural radioactive decay. To date, no significantly elevated radiation levels have been detected in migratory
species, including North Pacific albacore.” ANYBODY WANT A TUNA-FISH SANDWICH? NOAA says, eat away as there currently available information, along with the FDA and EPA, all being of compliance, have stated that no significantly elevated radiation levels have been detected
KEY WORDS AGAIN: significantly elevated radiation levels but that means there are radiation levels of a low dosage. Their wording makes the “SAFE SALE” and it sound OK! But according to Forbes Magazine article, some physicians, such as University of Wisconsin Professor Jeffrey Patterson, have insisted “there is no safe level of exposure to radionuclide. These man made isotopes, are among the most dangerous products of nuclear fission to human and animal health. They are “bone-seekers,” chemically similar to calcium, that collect in bone and marrow, where they are known to cause cancer. They are particularly dangerous to the growing bones of fetuses and children.”
Tuna fish Salad, anyone?
FDA is performing field examinations for gamma‐ray emitting radionuclide on approximately 40% of the
seafood products that are being shipped to the United States During the period from March 21, 2011 to April
25, 2011, 3,496 examinations were performed. To date, no field examinations have shown levels above
background. FDA is also randomly sampling selected entries and subjecting them to laboratory analysis.
RANDOM AND 40% FIELD EXAMS< OH I FEEL SAFE?> What about the other 60% not sampled? This is why Americans should demand American Shrimp in the markets. Do you know most all the shrimp and seafood you buy at your favorite shopping store comes from overseas. What about our American fish, shrimp, Lobsters and such. Why do I live in Florida, where Grouper to shrimp are abundant, have to buy Vietnam Grouper and Thailand Shrimp? This warning should be for those who eat canned tuna or by flash frozen fish from now “ short‐lived radionuclide such as I‐131 waters” because, our government regulations to catch shares are putting us out of business! You read right, a 40% study and the FDA, EPA and watchdog NOAA said it is safe. Well good, let them buy it and serve it to our kids! I do not want to eat hot glowing radioactive Tuna fish or other products from the far east.
I WANT AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS,
BY AMERICANS-FOR AMERICANS!
