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.
