Eating miso against radiation

Okay, now that it looks like the Fukushima nuclear power plants are going to explode,
it could be a good idea to start eating Miso!
It is tasty and it supposedly protects against radiation.
“Some, especially proponents of healthful eating, suggest that miso can help treat radiation sickness, citing cases in Japan and Russia where people have been fed miso after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Notably, Japanese doctor Shinichiro Akizuki, director of Saint Francis Hospital in Nagasaki during World War II, theorized that miso helps protect against radiation sickness.[7]”

And it's only a suggested theory. Not fact.
“Ito reasoned that if people were protected from radiation by miso, then rats that were fed miso and radiated should develop less cancer than radiated rats that were not fed miso. Professor Ito was not surprised to find that the liver cancer rate for rats that were not fed miso was 100 to 200 percent higher than that of rats that were fed miso. Ito also reported that rats that were fed miso had much less inflammation of organs caused by radioactivity.”

I surely hope you don’t challenge the tastiness of miso!
News broadcast told of the disaster possibly dropping radiation on the US west coast and then said, "People are very afraid." The way they said it made me cringe! Nice huh? A newscast which is reporting on a bad event, and has to declare people are very afraid thus *****causing more fear*****.
The report was not on people feeling very afraid, that "fact" was added gratuitously. Awful! Don't trust the news! Maybe relax a little more.
It keeps attempting to put out the fire until it dies in the flames.
Some people out there in Fukushima have the same attitude.
They work to try and stop the disaster and risk their own health – maybe their lives - in doing so.

It's not just a theory, it has been tested and shown to be true. We'd have to actually dig up the original research to be sure, but I am willing to take their word for it. I hated Japanese food when I was there, but now I miss it. It was probably the healthiest food I ever ate... shame it was so expensive.
