Biomagnification in Food, Radioactive Milk and Potassium Iodide
Radioactive isotopes from Fukushima enter the food chain through rain and irrigation, affecting alfalfa, cows, and ultimately milk and eggs in North America. This process of biomagnification makes it difficult to find uncontaminated food sources. While potassium iodide or seaweed can offer some protection for the thyroid, McPherson notes these are temporary measures that do not address the broader presence of ionizing radiation in the environment.
