Here's something for all you Fukushima doom-mongers out there.
While it's too early to draw any firm conclusions, there is evidence of a spike in incidences of thyroid cancer among those who were near Fukushima Dai-ichi as children at the time of the accident.

FWIW I am mistrustful of this article, because there are no links back to the original report; a clear sign of poor science journalism. Can anyone shed more light? |

Good question. JT is of questionable content. I wouldn't believe it unless they give proper sources. I doubt JT did any due diligence, and just posted the article.
I am wary of Fukushima, and wouldn't live there, but I doubt it's as bad as the drama they want it to be. Drama=sales |
