        I wonder how Canadians around the Great Lakes feel about this, because trends of your map sure won’t stop at the border? Or does that matter less to your story?

        No, but the data stops at the border, so that's what the study looked at.

        That's only from fallout that entered milk supply. The Actual (cancers, long term genetic damage) is several times higher and continues.

        I wonder if this is behind the huge increase in thyroid cancer that continues today? (Mine came out due to papillary thyroid carcinoma in 2009. One of the pre-surgery questions they ask is if you’ve been anywhere like Chernobyl.)

        This reminds me of 'rice has arsenic' worries... Well hello! The arsenic came from somewhere! The humans put it on the crops! Turns out rice absorbs it. So lets grow organic #unintendedconsequences

        The bit.ly link is pop-up spam. Don’t open it.

        No it's not. I opened it and it worked fine. It's a detailed article on the subject.

        There does appear to be something going on with our site. Maybe it's fixed now. But there really was some kind of phishing popup there.

        Maybe I have an active pop-up blocker. I don't fully understand these things. I just know I tapped the link, and found an article on the subject mentioned. It was retweeted by a Scottish reporter I follow, and he would do his homework before retweeting. It's why I tapped it.

        Yeah, I don't see it either since my browser blocks popups. But I heard about it this morning from several people.

        For the record, GMO's are not safe and are killing people without chemicals but rather with herbicides that cause cancer. Those herbicides, like Roundup by Monsanto, also kill weeds thus plantlife. Common sense talks safety reasoning here. Avoid GMO.
