Dear Friends,
Right now, food treated with ionizing radiation must be labeled as "Treated with irradiation" or "Treated by radiation." But according to Food and Water Watch, the irradiation industry wants to misleadingly label these foods as "electronically pasteurized" or "cold pasteurized."
Many serious health problems have been observed in lab animals fed irradiated foods, including premature death, cancer, tumors, stillbirths, mutations, organ damage, immune system failure and stunted growth. In one experiment, genetic damage was detected in young children who ate irradiated wheat.
In addition to health risks, radiation destroys vitamins, protein, essential fatty acids and other nutrients in foods – up to 80 percent of vitamin A in eggs and half the beta carotene in orange juice.
In spite of this alarming research the FDA is proposing a rule that would allow the use of the term "pasteurized" on some types of irradiated food and not require any labeling on others.
Pasteurization is not the same as irradiation!
