Fukushima affecting Cambodian children, but not in the way you might think ...

Interesting story in the New York Times about how the Fukushima nuclear accident and 3.11 disasters in general have affected children in Cambodia -- and not in a way you might have expected. According to the story, the disasters have brought about a shortage of iodine, which is a crucial element in brain growth. Unfortunately, Cambodia has long battled an iodine deficiency and although it seemed to have found a solution by introducing iodized salt into the diet, that all changed after March 2011.
