No Strontium-9O
Danger In Milk

There is no reason to reduce
your consumption of milk or other
dairy products due to fear of radio
active contamination, states Katie
c. Thomas, Kent County h m e
demonstration agent.
Neither is there any need to
worry about the purity of the milk
this spring, when peak levels of
strontium-90 are expected. T h e
strOntium-90 levels will still be be-
low those considered acceptable by
the Federal Radiation Council.
Quoting research reported by DR..
James M. Hundly, Public Health
Service Assistant Surgeon G n
eral, Mrs. Thomas says that it has
been intimated that it might be
well for Americans to drink more
rather than less milk as an active
cOmbatant against StrOntium-90.
DR.. Hundly reported that animals
with good calcium intakes absorb
less strOntium-90 while n m S
that are calcium-depleted absorb
more strOntium-90.
Since milk and milk products
supply about three-fourths of the
calcium in American diets, the i'm
portance of milk consumption is
