Ona scale of 1-10, he evidence that radioactive substances are the most powerful toxins in our food led Sara Shannon, a now-retired New York City-based nutritionist, to write Diet for the Atomic Age. That was over 10 years ago, and the book has now been republished as Technology's Curse. Its message is just as pressing today as the long-term effects of past nuclear disasters become increasingly evident and the possibility of future acci- dents more likely. And with electromagnet- ic pollution now so all-pervasive in our lives, her advice is ever more critical. In the late 1970s Shannon started explor- ing the suggestion that certain foods had radioprotective qualities and could help detoxify or counteract radiation's hazardous effects. She found that garlic, whole grains, nuts and seeds, vitamin/mineral supple- ments, tempeh, leafy green and yellow veg- etables have beneficial properties, with sea vegetables being especially rich in detoxify- ing minerals. She also learnt why meat, fish, milk and anything that's refined and processed are best avoided. Sadly, we have to be very choosy even about our radioprotective food sources: that our leafy greens weren't grown downwind of a nuclear or chemical plant with fertiliser = ne=E BOOKS condition could be alleviated.
