) were found to contain radioactive substances at levels higher than the safety limits, two
weeks after the nuclear power plant was damaged by earthquake and tsunami (). Cows produced
milk with a high level of radioactive substances, probably because they ate radioactive feedstuff or drank
radioactive water. After eating such food, some types of radioactive substances may cause damage to our
body cells and lead to cancers. It is particularly important to protect children from radioactive food,
because they are at a much higher risk of cancers after absorbing radioactive substances.
