We are bombarded every day by harmful radiation and, shockingly, nearly half of our radiation exposure in the U.S. comes from medical tests like X-rays and CT scans. The balance comes from radiation in the earth, radon gas and radiation from space.  And many worry about fallout from disasters like the meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan.

How do you protect yourself from radiation?  Eat your flaxseeds.
