What if the U.S. government secretly experimented on unsuspecting Americans – pregnant women, children, and hospital patients – using radioactive materials? In this episode of The Truth of the Matter, Natasha Zouves continues her conversation with Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Eileen Welsome, author of The Plutonium Files. Her groundbreaking reporting helped crack open a series of Cold War–era human radiation experiments—including: * Pregnant women given radioactive “cocktails” * Orphan boys at a Massachusetts school fed radioactive oatmeal * Cincinnati cancer patients subjected to whole-body radiation, many dying within weeks Welsome explains how these experiments came to light following her investigation into the 18 Americans injected with plutonium, what the tests reveal about government secrecy, and why this history remains a cautionary tale for us all. #TruthOfTheMatter #NatashaZouves #EileenWelsome #PlutoniumFiles #HumanExperiments #ColdWarSecrets #USGovernment #Radiatio...
