“Cereal crops in this rating: bread and flour products, flour and grain products come first. Cereal plants absorb radionuclides from the soil, and then transmit them to people. In addition, milk, potatoes, vegetables and fruits absorb and spread radiation well,” said the expert. said.
Meat and fish come in fourth place. In addition, mushrooms, currants and cranberries actively absorb radiation. The last item of “radioactive foods” contains seafood. The scientist explained that we are talking about the fundamental presence of radionuclides in them. The expert noted that there is no serious nuclear threat in milk or apples.
