Radiation Blog: Fukushima in Our Food, Part 3Where does radiation concentrate in our food?
Radiation concentrates in milk because cows eat grass, and grass and broad-leafed vegetables such as spinach and kale are among the first crops to accumulate radiation from nuclear fallout when it comes down in rain and dust, settling on the leaves and surrounding soil.

WellWise.org has always passionately campaigned for full disclosure about GMO in our foods. When consumers have an option to choose between Genetically Modified foods and non-GMO foods, our majority will go for the GMO free products.
