Japan nuclear iodine radiation in San Francisco raw milk detected at 2600% EPA drinking water limits and in store bought milk 1045% above EPA limits by the latest University of Berkeley radiation tests. The UCB also claimed that all radiation levels in the milk were starting to level off while the data shows a sharp increase in cesium radiation in their milk samples after their statement.
The latest UCB radiation test show two raw milk samples collected before pasteurization and homogenization contained 2.9 Bq/L and 1.49 Bq/L of radioactive iodine.

UCB Says Radiation Levels Are Leveling Off As Cesium In Milk Spikes
The results monitoring page seems to downplaying everything and some statements are outright misleading.
For example the UCB page states that store-bought milk levels of I-131, Cs-134 and Cs-137 are leveling off.
The statement was made on the 19th referring to the 18th milk sample which was at 82 Bq/l or 738% above the EPA limit for Japan nuclear iodine Radiation. That sample was almost double the previous sample of 0.45 Bq/L or 405% above the EPA Limit.
So is that leveling off? Or how about the next Iodine radiation sample which came in at 1.16 Bq/L at 1045% above the EPA limit?
Meanwhile as the charts show below the levels of Cesium nuclear radiation being detected in the store bought milk also continued to spike after the April 19th statement that the levels were leveling off.
