Do you still use Kaneka Q 10 from Japan?

[maggotz]

I heard Kaneka is the best Q10. I wanted to try it but then it came to my mind that this stuff is made in Japan. This freaks me out a bit.
What do you think? Do you think it's safe to take this? I know that those companies which use it in their products say it's safe and that they test it for radiation but is this even possible? Can you rule out a possible radiation 100%?
This really sucks.

Oh man, I was going to buy this cellphone last month but then I saw that it was made in Japan, no thanks bro. And don't get me started on Honda's, I don't even dare driving behind them on the highway, all of that cancer just hitting me in the dick.

[mer-der-ah]

lol

i wouldn't worry about radiation, everything is screened on the way out of japan and on the way into usa/canada since the fukushima daiichi incident.

[maggotz]

And this screening is absolutely safe? No possible errors or ways around the screening?

You can never be sure about anything coming into the country, or even things made in the country. In general, Japan does a very good job of manufacturing nearly everything they export. In terms of mass production they have always done it right.

it's kinda hard to mess up using a dosimeter/geiger counter...

[maggotz]

But would a geiger counter really detect even small radiation? I mean let's say the Q10 is totally in the back of a ship and they walk through the rows with a geiger counter and they're far away from the Q10 then would it really detect even totally small radiations? Or would it only detect it if you held it directly next to it?

if it's "really small" radiation, say equal or less than ******t levels - it wouldn't be detected. keep in mind you're always exposed to a tiny amount of radiation at any given time, and they fluctuate.

That's why I always wear a lead suit. I feel it helps my overall training just like it did for Piccolo in DBZ.

Does this mean you'd not worry about using supplements from Japan?

[mer-der-ah]

not one bit.

[maggotz]

But what if it's also possible to sneak stuff from Japan in via ship or plane without it being tested for radiation?
I mean if a plane from Japan lands on the airport then are the passengers tested for radiation, too?

Yes, and if there is any radiation the offending people and their things get incinerated.

[maggotz]

And what happens then? Are you sure that every single person gets screened for radiation? How do they do this?

What do you mean, "what happens then?" They die, in a fire, horribly. Yes, every single person gets checked, they have these radiation dogs at the airports now that can smell it and will clamp down on a person's arm if they have any sort of radiation coming from them.

[maggotz]

Making fun of my fears is not funny. I just worry about using Q 10 from Japan is this so bad?

[mer-der-ah]

why don't you buy a decent dosimeter and do it yourself if you're gonna keep trippin bout it...

[maggotz]

Do these things not cost a fortune? I mean then I can as well throw my Q10 away and buy different Q10.

I just worry cause nowadays it is all about money. I don't trust companies very much. They can claim a lot and say they'd not use contaminated stuff but who guarantees this?

it's not the company that will scan it. it's the local gov't. so that means if you get sick from radiation, your government isn't doing their job.

since the march 2011 quake/tsunami/radiation thing in japan, all imported goods from japan are scanned when they arrive here, and are also scanned several times before leaving japan. stop being so paranoid. you're pointlessly raising your cortisol levels.

[maggotz]

And there is no way to somehow get around the screenings? Does this mean that nothing, not even a letter can leave Japan without getting screened?

[mer-der-ah]

well, i think there was some rain that left the area of Japan shortly after the disaster and fell in the New England area. it raised background radiation a bit and i think might have contaminated some crops, albeit temporarily.

[ryanco64]

That's some intense radiation fears...

In any case, you should be fine. If the radiation was indeed that rampant, we wouldn't get anything from Japan imported period. And there is never any test that confirms anything 100%, so you either live with the fact that your products might have radiation (but doesn't necessarily mean that they do) or stop taking it altogether.

[maggotz]

If it was radiated what would happen when I take it?

You're a high quality member.

[jakebake]

did you have some huge radiation trauma?

lol
dude if your so scared just don't take it.
Anyways I heard that the people from japan are so used to their supps having radiation that they just got used to it. In this case they have no side effects while we americans are screwed. It has gotten as far as that they put radiation in their supps BECAUSE THEY LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
I would be careful man.. look it up

Seriously, is anyone here who lives in Japan and who knows if there is any radiation in the area where the Kaneka factory is?

I'm actually best friends with the owner of Kaneka, I'll give him a call in a minute and let you know.

[maggotz]

I heard that Japan is becoming more and more polluted with radiation. This really worries me. What if Kaneka is also becoming more radiated?

[maggotz]

Do you know if the government checks every ship or airplane from Japan for radiation or is this the job of the companies who ordered the stuff to control for radiation?
