>“a question arose as to whether chemicals in breakfast cereals interfered with the uptake of iron or calcium in children. An answer was needed. One obvious way to do the study, he said, would be to use radioactively tagged trace amounts of iron and calcium and to follow the fates of these minerals in the body when children ate cereals.” (Read Gina Kolata, The New York Times, Jan. 1, 1994)
Maybe you understand why my grandfather ate cornflakes and a banana as his only breakfast for 50 years... he was the control group.
Why do you think there has been an uptake in product marketing to push IRON and CALCIUM rich 'breakfast' diets on kids for "strong bones" (and by 'strong bones' I mean bone marrow blood production...) - you know.. the thing destroyed by radiation?

And I have some super sinister comments that I dont think I should share here...
Come again on that?
There was research in which nuclear material was introduced to orphans through milk who were monitored for radiologic exposure?
...I dare say, it wouldn't exactly surprise me, but if you've got a reference to the data/research project, inquisitive minds would like to know.
