Radiation Protective Foods: A Menu for the Nuclear Age

by Sara Shannon

Low level radiation is all around us. Radiation Protective Foods (formerly Diet for the Atomic Age) was one of the first books to examine this crucial health problem and to offer a course of action that any individual can follow. Based upon years of research, the author has gathered together medical data clearly showing that certain foods and supplements have protective properties that can safeguard you from low level radiation. The author presents theories as to how these foods stave off the effects of radiation and suggests recipes that maximize their protective powers within the possibilities of our increasingly toxic post-Fukushima world. Containing 30 page of references and interviews with leading scientific experts, Radiation Protective Foods may well become a survival guide while we focus on phasing out the source of radiation poisoning.

"Yet the accumulated radioactive waste from nuclear power plants and weapons production poses a threat for periods of time up to hundreds of thousands of years. Only in the last few years has the Federal Government attempted to come to grips with this pressing problem. We have not yet found a convincing technology for containment or long-term storage. Waste we have tried to store underground in the Western United States has dribbled into the soil and the water table. Up until 1970, large amounts of radioactive material were tossed into the Atlantic Ocean—in casks that will disintegrate in a number of years."
