The process of Irradiation is basically to put your food next to a source of RADIATION. This does do what they set out to do, which is kill harmful bacteria. Not only this, it kills the good bacteria. It also changes the structure of every cell in the food and they all become toxic in some way. Think about it! Radiation causes cell damage mostly from the fact that it damages DNA. When you cause massive molecular damage to something that was once biologically compatable with your body, then you are introducing many harmful things into the body from something that is no longer biologically compatable. A company that is researching cats eating irradiated foods are finding that they develope severe neurological dysfunctions! This is after only being on the diet for 3-4 months.
I have heard of the idea of them irradating all foods after the turn of the year when Codex Alimentarius goes live. This scares the crap out of me becuase if they start mass irradiating foods then people are going to die, period. There is already a lack of nutrition in todays western world and this would be the absolute tip of the iceberg.
Irradiation would not be needed if mainstream livestock producers would use good practices, period. All of this E. coli contamination is simply because waste byproducts are ending up in the food. If people would stop using poor standards then we would need these “solutions” to our food problems. This is why I eat organic, because organic standardstend to stop this stuff from happening.
