"US Nuclear Tests Killed More Civilians Than Hiroshima and Nagasaki"

"Eventually between 340,000 and 690,000 Americans had their lives shortened by drinking contaminated milk far from the test sites

"When the US entered the nuclear age, it did so recklessly. New research suggests that the hidden cost of developing nuclear weapons were far larger than previous estimates, with radioactive fallout responsible for 340,000 to 690,000 American deaths from 1951 to 1973."

"The study, performed by University of Arizona economist Keith Meyers, uses a novel method (pdf) to trace the deadly effects of this radiation, which was often consumed by Americans drinking milk far from the site of atomic tests."

DAIRY COWS GRAZING IN A FIELD OR BEING FED SILAGE ABSORBING TRACES OF DOWNWIND RADIOACTIVITY INTO THEIR SYSTEM FROM ATOMIC ABOVE-GROUND NUCLEAR TESTS PRODUCING MILK [AND OTHER DAIRY PRODUCT I ASSUME] CONTAMINATED WHEN CONSUMED A LONG-TERM INCREASE IN DEATH FROM CANCERS A RESULT.

"silage noun: fodder (such as hay or corn) converted into succulent feed for livestock through processes of anaerobic bacterial fermentation (as in a silo)"

Within context consider too that currently the # 1 rated retirement community in the USA St. George Utah. Located about 100 miles [160 kilometers] east of the Nevada nuclear test site and "dusted" about a hundred or so times by above-ground nuclear tests. St. George residents rather cool and collected about the whole matter, seemingly not excessively concerned?

I am too flippant?
