「CC」のボタンで日本語の字幕あり(I speak slowly for the benefit of non-native English speakers.) The Japanese are making no distinction between radiation contaminated food (which is below the unusually high Japanese safety limits), and contamination free food. As a result contaminated food products such as green tea ARE on the market and being consumed unwittingly by people all over Japan. You can learn about Japanese safety limits and the unit "becquerel" which is used to measure radiation in food in this previous video of mine: www.youtube.com Some Japanese news web sites don't keep an archive of articles on-line. I have .pdf copies of some which I reference but I am unable to provide links. The Mainichi Daily News (mdn.mainichi.jp for example only seems to keep English articles going back 1 month. This seems extremely information limiting and one has to ask why a news agency would have such a policy? I intentionally don't provide a link to the Ohkuraen company intentionally for various reasons.

@FLYESTBIRD Thanks for your comment. It really sucks because I love green tea and matcha, but have lost all trust in it. Ureshino green tea from Saga Prefecture and tea from Kagoshima Prefecture are grown in Kyushu which is quite far away. If you can find products from those places they are likely safe (although I can’t quite bring myself to trust them despite living in Kyushu and knowing we didn’t get fallout here …)
Thanks for this video, i was just looking into buying matcha green tea, now i guess i will not
omgggggggggg
i think we are done with Japanese tea! I dont drink it anyway,so no big deal…
@GoddardsJournal that I am i got one just brewed.
Thanks for the video.. NO more sencha tea och nori
freaky that japan is screw
Radiation exam shows that there is a little radiation. but in nature, everything has natural radiation even to our body and all the nature.
Thank you for sharing your findings and deductions with the public. Though I am not in Japan, I do purchase Japanese products and will be investigative and scrupulous of my choices. I cannot imagine how people can conscionably allow potentially unsafe products, or products which could pose a risk through cumulative doses of radiation to make it into peoples carts. Thank you!
those radiation limits are just a minor problem for producers…they can reach them by mixing clean stuff with too contaminated stuff… and after all consumers eat or drink all too contaminated tea, milk, rice etc and Tepco don’t need to pay compensations …btw they still mix milk in Ukraine to reach radiation limits
Good video, thank you for taking the time to do it. Now if main stream media would also ask the same questions Americans could be better informed if products from Japan are flowing inside USA borders.
thankyou for this important info
@killzawestLTD Given the CLEAR Japanese position that radiation in food is OK if it is below their arbitrary & high “safety” standards, I would be cautious of ALL Japanese foods and avoid them for the time being. Pocky almost certainly has flour, vegetable oil, and other ingredients that go into making it. If ANY of those ingredients have contamination, then the Pocky will as well. The Japanese are compromising ALL of the food in their country with their attitude.
@squeezing1234 I know, it is a tragedy however those responsible (TEPCO) should be held accountable for compensating the farmers and people affected. It is insane to expect the public to support those in agriculture by consuming contaminated products. This mentality will risk the health of everyone living in the nation of Japan, not just those living in the affected region. People can find new livelihoods and ways of life, you can’t find a new body if you get cancer or leukemia.
@AluminumStudios
I’m just understanding now. It’s only about YOUR health.
“Pressure” Japan? I’m calling this double moral standards.
@picturestreams
wow, ok, very polite. What’s an unsupported individual? And what’s wrong with this question?
Ok – you want me to shut up – bye. But I hear a lot of unsupported individuals talking about my people.
@squeezing1234 It is the task of the whole society to take and shoulder such a decision, strap the consequences and benefit afterwards from the actions taken. You can’t ask such a question to an unsupported individual and expect to find the right answer.
dont worry, as the radioactivity in green tea can cause cancer…the polyphenols and catechins in green tea may prevent cancer
@InnerQi
would not most tea be from India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia anyway.
@picturestreams
if you would have an own business – could you stop it right now?
You’ll find some footage on my channel.
This destroys the economy, tea export, the base of existence of several countrymen.
Our future survival is dependent upon how well we can deal with the risks of the nuclear industry against the general silence and policy of the belittlement of the IAEA!?
Lots of Million people can not meet this requirement and carry additionally a very high risk!
Thank you for your work!
@AluminumStudios so do u think the devastation in japan was totally naturally caused by the intial earthquakes and aftershokes or somwthingunatural caused the earthquakes?
ban those fuckin japs
@picturestreams ”A responsible and trustworthy government”?
Never met that one in my life. Sorry, not gonna happen in near future either.
In fact, this statement itself is 100% paradoxial.
