I just read this article claiming that many Baby Boomers are now discovered to be at a heightened risk of cancer because of nuclear testing back in the day.
A study in St. Louis showed that baby teeth from current cancer victims who were bottle-fed in the '50s and early '60s showed twice the amount of radioactive Strontium-90 than a healthy person of the same age. The nuclear above-ground tests took place in desolate Nevada, but wind and precipitous clouds could carry the radiation farther across the country, infecting cows and their milk - and in turn, anyone who drank the milk!
Now, don't worry, you local Baby Boomers! I'm pretty sure we're at a heightened risk of cancer from good ol' Perdue and Mountaire plants! That will get all of us before the nuclear milk!
