"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Radioactive Particles From Fukushima Nuclear Disaster Found in California Wine
"Radioactive particles from the Fukushima disaster have been detected in – of all places – California wines. Inspired by tests conducted in the aftermath of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, researchers at France’s National Center for Scientific Research, or CNRS, decided to test a series of California wines dating between 2009 and 2012. They looked for traces of radioactive particles, specifically cesium-137, a man-made isotope."

ReadyNutrition is a good site, and its articles are on target most of the time, but the column linked to is pure fear-mongering. It starts with stories about people near Fukushima dying from "stress", then veers into alleged microscopic increases in cesium-137 an ocean away. The amounts are so low that normal sensitive instruments fail and more exotic methods have to be devised to find faint hints. Color me unimpressed.
