Food Irradiation

<< < (2/2)

Marvin:
I have heard that there are two primary reasons that food irradiation has not become more popular with big business:

1.) There are scientific studies indicating that food irradiation causes chemical changes in some foods, thereby reducing the nutritional value.

2.) Food industry workers took a "what the heck, we don't have to keep everything clean now that the radiation kills the germs approach" in the early food irradiation years.

I'm sure there's lots of related articles on the net as a previous post indicated.    I am no food irradiation expert.

I did a report on this subject years ago in college. I'll try to dig it up and post any references.
