    Probably but I quit worrying about these things. When I first heard of it, I was worried about eating fish from the Pacific but I later realized some of the pics were fake.

    There's no point in worrying too much about the food you eat or you'll never eat out and you might as well grow and make everything from scratch. I'd rather just die a year earlier maybe.

    Radioactive debris is the big concern, beyond a doubt. When I was a kid, nuke tests above ground spread fallout worldwide. Strontium 90 was found in the dairy food chain, in milk and it's products. Sr-90 is radioactive, and so chemically-similar to Calcium, that the human body deposits it in the bones, where it continues to irradiate the bones for life (half-life of 29 years). So for kids, it was most important to monitor the milk supply.

    Our TV news casts daily ran a quick report on average Sr-90 values found in the milk supply! This was in the early 1950s. In perspective, the first H-Bomb test raised an estimated 80 million tons of solid debris into the atmosphere, which h then was wind-borne world-wide. One test shot.

    I don't recall that at around age 10, my folks curtailed milk and dairy products in our house. Maybe my old bones are full of the sh!t, for all I know!

    They don’t want to say a problem and when they found the it going up across the US the response was to shut down the most of recording sites.
