Fukishima contamination found in Irish milk

Carlow52

The Food Safety Authority says small traces of radioactive iodine have been found but the levels are minuscule and pose no concern for consumer health.

Can you believe them or is it time to go back on the ma's t?t?

Far be it from me to lower the tone of Ah by posting a serious article but...

George Monbiot is the Guardian's Uber-environmentalist.

However he has become more and more cynical about the anti-nuclear lobby and the methods they have used to scare people about the effects of radiation.

He engaged a well known anti-nuclear campaigner,Helen Caldicott, in correspondence about her books and was not impressed.

is that where Avonmore get Super Milk from?

Mickey, you have to stop confusing me, you damn thief :mad:

For a second there I thought Kiera was fúckin nuts and just talking to herself about Milk.

Damn you.

I suppose we could drink that uht milk but it tastes like s**te

What if Yore Ma's milk is radioactive too.

....

the scepticist : dear helen can you provide references to your claims which you have made on the effects of radiation

helen: dear scepticist em.....no, but I hope this picture of a spider will do in the mean time and help to enforce my arguement on the effects of radiation

Wait.. I thought it was Iodine that cured radioactivity?? How can it be bad and good? I'm confused and worried about what I just eat in a blind panic.

the tablets you take are - well, radioactive. what they do is fill up your thyroid and they have very little damaging effect on you. it prevents other, far worse isotopes to be absorbed into your thyroid. In laymans terms.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_iodide

In an accidental event or attack on a nuclear power plant, or in nuclear bomb fallout, volatile fission product radionuclides may be released. Of these products, 131I is one of the most common and is particularly dangerous to the thyroid gland because it may lead to thyroid cancer. By saturating the body with a source of stable iodide prior to exposure, inhaled or ingested 131I tends to be excreted, which prevents radioiodine uptake by the thyroid. The protective effect of KI lasts approximately 24 hours. For optimal prophylaxis, KI must be dosed daily until a risk of significant exposure to radioiodine by either inhalation or ingestion no longer exists. Emergency 130 milligrams potassium iodide doses provide 100 mg iodide (the other 30 mg is the potassium in the compound), which is roughly 700 times larger than the normal nutritional need (see recommended dietary allowance) for iodine, which is 150 micrograms (0.15 mg) of iodine (as iodide) per day for an adult.
Potassium iodide cannot protect against any other causes of radiation poisoning, nor can it provide any degree of protection against dirty bombs that produce radionuclides other than radioisotopes of iodine. See fission products and the external links for more details concerning radionuclides.






Basically those tablets only protect against radioactive iodides: they have no effect on Plutonium or Uranium, for instance. Nor do I believe would they prevent cell damage from gamma rays.

Sure its grand who gives a Fukishima.

Meh I had a gallon yesterday...Wait is it normal to hear colours?:eek:

Guy looks like a cross bewtween McLovin and Ashley Hames from Sin Cities in that picture.

If you boil the milk it will kill off the radiation.

there is some excellent reading and articles from this guy on the subject.
his point about coal mines killing more workers then nuclear plants was something i never considered but now it makes perfect sense.

NoDice

The taxi driver I had this morning was talking about this and somehow turned it into a conversation about the banks..

On topic - I love milk, I hope this doesn't get worse! I can't imagine not being able to have my cuppa tae in the morning! Will they be taking bottles of milk off the shelves eventually or is this just some warning to strike panic into our little Irish hearts???

UglyBolloxFace

I'm not a big drinker of milk but nonetheless

FUCK YOU SHIMA!

iodine tablets are taken to stop you from taking in radioactive iodine since you are already full of non radioactive iodine.

Ok, but what about lead pellets, they protect you from radiation too right?

Firstly, change your avatar please, it's confusing me!

Secondly, milk is only good in cereal and tea/coffee so I wouldn't be too worried.

Finally, come on, it's the smallest trace amounts, it's not gonna hurt anyone.

It didn't get into the free cheese stock did it? If it did then I don't know how I'll make it through next Christmas.
