CONNECT WITH US | | Letter from the Editor In this newsletter, Jon examines the validity of a recently released study that claims that at least 14,000 people (with a special focus on children under the age of one) died in the U.S. during the 14 weeks following the Fukushima disaster. Unfortunately, things are not always what they seem. In this case, the data is deeply disturbing -- but in ways the study's authors never intended. And yes, there are things to be scared of, but not necessarily what you think. (Click here to read article...) Note: For the month of January, Baseline Nutritionals® is allowing "members" whose orders total $201 or more, to buy up to two canisters of Accelerator™ for 75% off. That's only $8.74 a canister – or just $6.25 if combined with a Category Discount. Although many people use Accelerator™ as a weight-loss aid (and it can be very effective in this regard), it has also become a favorite supplement with busy executives and athletes (tournament table-tennis players, world-class mountain climbers, and long distance runners), who love the sustained energy it provides. And of course, it's also a favorite for people on the go who love having a quick satisfying meal that tastes great, energizes them, and keeps them full for hours.

Kristen Barron Fukushima...One More Time by Jon Barron Back in December, a press release was broadcasted to the media about a peer reviewed study conducted by Joseph J. Mangano and Janette D. Sherman (M&S) that claimed that at least 14,000 people (with a special focus on children under the age of one) had died in the U.S. during the 14 weeks following the Fukushima disaster. At the time, I ignored the study for several reasons. - The peer reviewed journal in question is not that notable -- ranking 2883 for its impact within the scientific community among all scientific journals, and 29th within its own category of Health Care Sciences and Services. (That doesn't mean it's a bad journal -- just that other researchers don't cite it much.)
- The fact that the study results were broadcast exclusively through a press release is "odd" to say the least.
- Not many media outlets carried the story. The Sacramento Bee did, but not many others. (The story is now curiously missing from the Bee's website.)
- No one wrote into the Foundation asking about it.
- And radioactive iodine and cesium just don't kill that quickly unless the doses are massive. It made no sense.
But recently, things have changed a bit. Several significant alternative health websites have picked up on the study and are trumpeting its "peer reviewed" credentials. What this means, of course, is that questions are starting to stream into the Foundation -- questions that now must be answered. Continue Reading...
