Most Of All Tuna Caught Is Covered With Radiation. Here Are The Specific Kinds You Need To Avoid

Even today, after 2011 Fukushima disaster, the radioactive materials that were released in the air and in the Pacific Ocean cause many health problems. That’s why you should avoid eating Pacific Bluefin tuna.

Nowadays, those radioactive materials are circulating in the form of a radioactive cesium.
All of the Cesium-134 contained in the Pacific Ocean is a result of the Fukushima disaster and it has a half-life of two years.

Moreover, much of the Cesium – 137 in the Pacific is from the nuclear tests from 1950.
Every single fish is exposed to radioactive cesium, because it floats in the Ocean and it is easily swallowed by the fish.

Due to the fact that tuna are the top predators, they accumulate the radioactive cesium but along with many more toxins in their bodies.

According to one study conducted by researchers from Stanford University and Stony Brook University in 2012,  this radioactive element was found in every single Bluefin tuna caught off the coast of California.

One of the researches named Nicholas Fisher said that they found cesium-134 and cesium-137 in every single one of them.

The over levels of radioactive cesium had increased by 3% since the Fukushima disaster.
Daniel Madigan was the leader of the researchers and he said that they were surprised that they found in every one that they measured and that tuna packed it up and that is how it was spread across the Pacific.

What was the most shocking to the researchers is that the study was made right after the disaster, when the exposure to radioactivity was minimal.

The research made by the International Scientific Committee for Tuna and Tuna-Like Spicies disocevered that about 90 percent of Pacific bluefin tuna caught has not yet reached maturity, which occurs at about five years, and the Fukushima disaster took place about five years ago.

In conclusion, the Pacific Bluefins start their life in water that had the chemicals from the Fukushima radiation. They can swim acroos the whole ocean and they can go to North America.
Radioactivity levels tripled.

Unfortunately,  researchers from Oregon State University found that these radioactive elements not onle affected Pacific bluefins, but Albacore tuna as well, that had even more dramatic effects.

Also they found out that from 2008 and 2012 levels of radioactive isotopes in tuna caught off the coast of Oregon tripled.

Delvan Neville, the leader of the research said that if you eat for a year albacore with cesium in it, is actually the same dose of radiation if you spend 23 seconds in a stuffy basement from radon gas, or to sleep 40 nights next to your spouse from the natural-potassium-40.
He did not claim that there is zero risk but he said that that every radiation brings at least small risk.
