[ RadSafe ] Hawaii Health Guide - Big Island Dairy Farmers fightradiation with Boron

[Brennan, Mike (DOH)]

I suppose feeding boron to livestock makes sense if your worry is that
your cows are about to go critical.  

On the other hand, I've always found cows to be rather placid.

I strongly suspect that these well meaning dairy farmers are doing more
harm
than good.  Is that the case or does sodium borate do no harm?  If it
does
harm especially to the resulting milk, then the State of Hawaii's health
department should be made aware of this.
