Over the last few week I have been pondering the question that is on all of out minds hear at league of reason Conspiracy theory nutters. The first image we get is that con man Alex Jones or some crazy nutter with tin foil on his head talking about how space aliens blew up the twin towers or some crazy assed story. Then I realized something, we live in an age were we do have a corrupt governtment, and there are stories about somethings that could save lives they would not want to get out, I left an example here as an youtube story from a reliable source an actual news afialiate from philidephia about the radiation being found in that cities drinking water from Fukishima, you be the judge. I am not much into conspiracy theory but thought this would be important to dicuss

I am just careful what I post, at home I already started using bottled water, and just use the tap water for cooking and coffee, but for all my major drinking I use the bottled, I am keeping the tap water to minimal, I just wanted this to be peer reviewed before I called it any different.

1. The iodine has been in the water since August 2010. It has nothing to do with Japan.
2. I quote:

The radiation levels are so low that an infant would have to drink almost 600 liters of water to receive a radiation dose equivalent to what we already experience naturally in our environment.

I was told by Cornell University that the FDA restrictions on tap water are more strict than those for bottled water.
