No food irradiation!!! Consumers are OPPOSED to food irradiation!! Dangerous!!
irradiation:
forms volatile toxic chemicals such as benzene and toluene;
causes stunted growth in lab animals fed irradiated foods; and
was legalized in defiance of FDA’s own regulations and guidelines
that mandate a thorough health and safety review.
numerous published studies on potential mutagenic effects (involving potential
damage to genes) in mammals, as well as the important
2001 study that linked colon tumor promotion in laboratory rats to new chemical
compounds that are found only in
irradiated foods, known as 2-alkylcyclobutanones (2-ACBs).
