Ninja Xl BlenderThe news this weekend was not good for us sushi lovers! Many of us going gluten free, and watching our intake (or eliminating) red meat, rely on a good sushi dinner and in particular, tuna for the protein intake requirements. I'm certain more information will come out on this, but until then, we have reports from California with the details.
The report:

The recommendation:
Although the amounts found in the tuna are in the "safe" zone, it might be prudent to reduce or eliminate the intake of the large fish found off the coast of Japan until further information is available. The thyroid gland is especially sensitive to radiation. If you believe you are particularly prone to exposure to radiation due to your location (travel to Japan, etc.) you might look into the protection offered from iodine. The CDC has this report on the use: http://www.bt.cdc.gov/radiation/ki.asp
