How much radiation are we getting when we walk through airport scanners?
If scanners are able to see completely through your clothes not even showing the metal, does that mean that we’re receiving dangerously high levels of radiation?
This issue makes many people uncomfortable and raises the 1 $million question; how much radiation is too much?
“I’m a doctor at M.D. Anderson, I don’t want radiation if I can avoid it,”.
The alarm was sounded on Wednesday, when federal officials announced that tests had detected a trace amount of iodine 131 in milk.
Although we may never know the extent of radiation exposure to the food supply; the alarm hasn’t gone off.
Be reasonably cautious about food purchases.
“I’ve had members call to ask whether we’ve seen the media, and media calling to ask how this is impacting our members,” said Michael Marsh, the chief executive of Western United Dairymen, the milk industry’s West Coast trade association. Mr. Marsh said he had repeated the assurances given by officials, but he also understood the fears in the supermarket’s refrigerated aisle.

Cancer research has come a long way last 5 years.
Thanks to organizations like the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation once considered experimental drugs like tamoxifen are making headway toward a cure.
The findings showed that for every hundred women with breast cancer who completed a full five-year course of tamoxifen, the cancer came back in around six fewer women, compared to those who only took the drug for two years.
This latest British study, which was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology on Monday, also found that an added benefit of taking tamoxifen for five years was that it reduced the risk of developing or dying from heart disease.

So why does cancer recur? Say a person has a tumor and surgeons cut it out or do radiation, but it recurs in the bone marrow five years later, Taichman said. Those cancer cells had been circulating in the body well before the tumor was discovered, and one place those cancer cells hid is the niche.
“So what have the cancer cells been doing during those five years? Now we have a partial answer — they’ve been sitting in this place whose job it is to keep things from proliferating and growing,” Taichman said.
“Our work also provides an explanation as to why current chemotherapies often fail in that once cancer cells enter the niche, most likely they stop proliferating,” said Yusuke Shiozawa, lead author of the study. “The problem is that most of the drugs we use to try to treat cancer only work on cells that are proliferating.”
