The controversy of radioactive cesium damage on animal pancreas and diabetes

In these times of danger of severe international conflicts with fear of the use of atomic weapons and accidents  in nuclear power plants, radionuclide contamination in terrestrial ecosystems has nowadays  reached a dangerous level. One of the most frequent and studied artificial radionuclide is cesium (137-Cs and 134-Cs), which is  on the rise in the world. This orally  ingested  artificial radionuclide is a serious danger that can cause, in humans and animals, through inflammatory, carcinogenic, carcinogenic, necrotic mechanisms, functional deficiency  as diabetes mellitus, cancer and congenital anomalies by DNA and mitochondrial damage. The Author reported autoradiographic and scintigraphic studies  describing some, little-known, damage to organs of pancreas, salivary glands, colon, ovary and diabetes mellitus, whose incidence rate is gradually rising worldwide. But a controversy on tissues and organs damaged, by Low-Dose Radiations action, is frequently reported in medical literature.

Dr. Sebastiano Venturi, member of Italian Thyroid Association, studied goiter and cretinism and the action of iodine in stomach, breast, brain, skin, saliva and immunity, and more recently (2020-2025) cesium metabolism. He participated in 2007-Beijing Summit, in 2013-London Congress, where he reported "Iodine, PUFAs and Iodolipids" in J. of "Human Evolution" and in Saint Petersburg (2022) on "Cesium-137 , Pancreas Cancer and Diabetes".  In 1985, 1999 and 2000 he published the first studies of extrathyroid antioxidant action of iodine. In 1993, 2000-3 he reported the first reviews in medical literature on the association between iodine and stomach and breast cancers. From 2000 to 2014 he published research on iodine in evolution, where iodide constitutes the first inorganic antioxidant in a living system. In 2000-2020, Venturi published the first studies on the evolution of many dietary antioxidants in marine and terrestrial animals. In 2020-2025,  he  published the first correlational studies  between radioactive cesium and  increase of pancreatic  cancer, pancreatitis, diabetes and on cesium metabolism in the human body.
