Subversive reason for ionizing foods.
 shared by cosmo into irradiation Views 1 year ago
The food industry does not ionize foods to protect you from germs. It does so to prolong shelf life.

Disagree with unlabeled irradiation of food.
 shared by cosmo into irradiation Views 1 year ago
I disagree that it is good to irradiate food without the consumers' knowledge. I agree that it can kill germs, and I agree that the food is not radioactive. However, ionizing radiation is radiation that ionizes the atoms in the food. An ionized atom or molecule can be missing an electron deep in the atom. The chemistry of an atom or molecule depends only on its outermost electrons, and so ionized atoms or molecules enjoy the same chemistry in the body as unionized ones. However, ionized atoms or molecules have a different electric charge on them, causing abnormal behaviours with respect to other atoms and molecules. (This is the danger of ionized atoms and molecules in one's body and what causes radiation sickness if the level becomes very high. Lower levels have been proven to cause various health problems including cancer) My point is that I do not want to eat food with ionized atoms or molecules, because we know that we are what we eat. It is true that we cannot help receiving ionizing radiation everyday, and our bodies can handle certain amounts, but I want a warning if the food I am purchasing has been artificially ionized so I can choose not to buy it. I have nothing against irradiating food if someone wants such a thing and they choose to buy it labeled as such. Supposedly there now exists no law to label ionized food. Please tell your grocer that you want to know which foods have been artificially ionized. Thank you.
