A flaw in milk data?
Do you not realize that now days most cows do not see the light of day? They are in a building their entire lives and are fed grain or hay that was cut last year. There for they would be fairly isolated from exposure to Iodine-131.
It would be interesting to see the difference in milk testing for cows that are actually outside possibly on a free range organic milk farm, vs the milk factory cows.
What are your thoughts?
I would love to see more
I would love to see more milk testing.
Sampling of average store bought milk
I would actually like to see a sampling of the typical store
bought milk that most people consume. I would assume that the
milk tested by the BRAWM team would be a worst case scenario
since the cows are grass fed.
I'm also curious how the EPA is testing milk. Where are their
samples coming from? And do they take the "best by date" into
account for I-131 decay like the BRAWM team? Or do they just
test the sample and post the results? That would be ok if their
sample is taken directly from the dairy (effectively directly
from the cow). But, if they are getting their samples from the
store, the I-131 decay would have to be factored in. As we saw
with the BRAWM data, not factoring that in makes a big difference.
Milk Testing
This is the first sentence in the Milk Testing Results page, "The following are results for milk samples obtained from a Bay Area organic dairy where the farmers are encouraged to feed their cows local grass. We have detected I-131, Cs-134, and Cs-137 and are tracking their levels."
But I very much agree that there should be more testing of milk!!!! And in various locations too. Doesn't Hawaii show high levels now?
wow i'm an idiot for not
wow i'm an idiot for not reading that. Sorry team BRAWN
