For the past 18 years he has avidly sought ways to improve health. Irradiation of filthy food with gamma rays is a profitable way to dispose of deadly nuclear wastes, storage of which costs millions of dollars yearly. It reduces resistance to infections, increases spleen weight indicative of stressed, weakened immunity, and significantly increases cancer. Gamma radiation depletes or destroys vitamins A, B, C, E and K and essential amino acids cysteine, methionine, histidine and tryptophan as well as enzymes. Enzymes are required for nutrient absorption and survival.
Irradiation is also environmentally dangerous.
Approval of food irradiation will cause the proliferation of facilities that will ship and use cobalt 60 and cesium 137, the principal radioactive elements used in food irradiation. Foods are being engineered for profit without adequate consideration of possible health effects. We have no idea what the long term effects of genetically engineered plants will be on the ecology and on human health. Further, over 500 species of insects have become pesticide-resistant. Hundreds of thousands of tons of these waste products have been spread on farms as fertilizers, liming material and other soil additives.
