Like all radioactive materials, it is a carcinogen (able to cause cancers that will develop some years after exposure), a mutagen (creating damaged genes that can be passed on to children and grandchildren) and a teratogen (able to cause birth defects in unborn babies).

Japan, which is still suffering a triple meltdown, has a limit of 100 Bq/kg. Both of these limits are way too high to protect our children. We are asking that the limit be reduced to 5 Bq/kg for all food, nutritional supplements and pharmaceuticals. Sign the petition.
