In this episode, we talk about why you should avoid dairy products, Cindy shares her grandmother's horchata recipe, and Marti shares sweet and savory options for homemade brown rice milk and cashew milk.

Atomic Dairy
Why should you avoid dairy products? It all goes back to the law of selective uptake. Radioactive isotopes mimic their elemental counterpart. So, if your body does not have enough of a specific element, then you may be at risk of absorbing ingested radioactive isotopes.

Let’s use calcium as an example. If you are calcium deficient, your body may recognize strontium-90 as if it were calcium. Once strontium-90 is absorbed, it will migrate to your bones and teeth, where it will radiate surrounding tissues and organs, ultimately leading to a host of health related problems that your doctor may or may not be able to trace back to radiation exposure.
The Bioaccumulated Food Chain
Another problem exists with dairy products, as well. Milk is a level 3 on the food chain, as far as bioaccumulation is concerned. Listed below are the 3 levels in the bioaccumulated food chain:

* Level 1 (plants and water ) - When radioactive fallout lands on plants, it becomes organically bound into the plant's structure.
* Level 2  (ingestion) - When cows eat plants exposed to radioactive fallout or drink water that contains fallout, radioactive isotopes get incorporated into their flesh. Then, we eat the beef, steaks, t-bone, ribs, and all the other different cuts of meat that come from the cow's flesh. Whatever radioactive isotopes the cow has ingested become concentrated in its flesh. When you eat contaminated beef, the concentrated radioactive isotopes that have bioaccumulated in its flesh are absorbed by your body when it goes through the digestive process.
* Level 3 (dairy products) - This occurs when cows make milk. All the radioactivity that the cattle was exposed to becomes super concentrated in the cow's milk. This applies to all dairy products. When scientists want to test for radioactive contamination, they test cow’s milk. That’s what the Canadian government did in 2011 following the Fukushima catastrophe and they found strontium-90 had been excreted in the cow's milk.

Fear not, as we have three dairy free milk recipes that you can make at home.  All the details are included in the podcast. Brown rice milk is posted below for your convenience.

Brown Rice Milk
Brown rice milk is an affordable milk alternative that's low-fat and low on the bioaccumulation food chain. You can boost the potassium content by adding 1 oz. of coconut water for each cup of rice milk. One oz. of coconut water contains up to 70 mg. of potassium. For savory dishes, omit the vanilla, however if you want to make your rice milk a bit sweet, then add the vanilla and your favorite sweetener.  Also, it’s probably a good idea to buy organic, as high levels of arsenic have been found in commercially grown rice.

Ingredients:

* 1 cup of uncooked brown rice
* 9 1/2 cups of water
* 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)
* 2 tablespoons of agave nectar (optional)
* a pinch of pink salt (optional)

Directions:

In a saucepan, put 5 cups of water to a boil, add the rice and stir until lit comes to a boil again. Reduce to a simmer  for 45 - 55 minutes,  When the rice is done, remove from  the heat and add 4 more cups of water and the vanilla. Stir well and let it rest for an hour. Place in a blender and blend on medium for about 3-4 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into an airtight jar. Add a dash of pink salt and it lasts for up to 4 days in a sealed, airtight container.
