Iodine 131 found in Hawaii milk at 6 times the federally allowed level. People are getting sick.
According to the EPA Hawaii milk tested at 18 pci/l and according to business insider the legal limit is 3 pci/l.
I live in Hawaii and coincidentally, everyone I work with has been getting sick this past week. I was nauseous and vomiting a few days ago and I had been drinking milk recently before that. I hardly ever get the stomach flu and hadn't had it in three years before last week. What the heck is going on here? The news organizations are telling us everything's safe.

2. Where is nadinbrzezinski when we need her
She warned us ages ago.
But you didn't listen! Did you stock up on 'Triage Milk". No? Then you'll die a slow horrible death. You should have listened.

3. She gave up on us
It's too bad as she knows much.
Just how stupid do you have to be to say Nadin knows so much?

4. She was shouted down and shut up.
Per usual, and here she was right all along.
Yes, there's rioting in the streets, we've crossed the Rubicon, My neighbors are dead from radiation sickness. Help us all knowing Nadin!

20. The Bully Brigade ran her off. n/t
There's the bully thing again.
Disagree with Obama, you're a racist. Disagree with a DUmmie you must be a bully.

4. The only illness that milk can cause is psychosomatic.
Assuming you didn't leave it out overnight. 
We're talking less than one disintegration per second here.
Stop with the facts you BULLY.

18. Your linked epa(!) page
states immediately above the figures given for milk: "The milk sampling results are far below the Food and Drug Administration's Derived Intervention Level for iodine-131 in milk."
I couldn't quickly find a specific figure for milk from the FDA, but this page:
http://www.fda.gov/newsevents/publichealthfocus/ucm2474...
has this data: "FDA has set a Derived Intervention Level (DIL) for Iodine-131 of 170 Bq/kg {ed: a kg equals roughly a liter for milk or water} in foods prepared for consumption."
(http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/csem/iodine/standards_regulati... states that this figure also applies to "Foods destined for general consumption and also for infant milk and drinking water." This page also uses a 4,600 pCi/kg figure, which is the closer approximation.)
becquerels x 27 (approximately) = picoCuries
170 Bq/kg x 27 = 4590 pCi/kg
So, at least from the FDA, 3 pCi/l doesn't add up (it's off by a multiplier of more than 1500).
As far as I can determine, the 3 pCi/L figure (an output standard for drinking water from Community Water Systems, apparently) comes from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("Radionuclide SDWA Rule", 40CFR141.66(d) page 13), and is based upon an additional, accumulated 4 mrem/year dosage for continuous exposure over the course of a year.
BULLY!

12. That's not even a vaguely dangerous amount. nt
This is directly from the EPA link the DUmmie provided.
Milk
The milk sampling results are far below the Food and Drug Administration's Derived Intervention Level for iodine-131 in milk. These types of findings are to be expected in the coming days and are far below levels of public health concern, including for infants and children. Iodine-131 has a very short half-life of approximately eight days, and the level detected in milk and milk products is therefore expected to drop relatively quickly.
