HOW DOES FOOD IRRADIATION WORK?


Have you ever thought about the negative effect that low dose radiation from nuclear power plants and nuclear accidents has on bacteria? It is a well known fact that radiation kills or mutates bacteria. 

Irradiation in Food Processing
Irradiation is used on many food products to kill bacteria, as reported in the video above. So we do not really need to prove that radiation kills bacteria, because industry is using radiation for that purpose. Pro nuclear apologists really argue that radiation has no harmful effects, because the proof is in the actual use of radiation to kill bacteria for many food and other items, as proven by the video above, (a pro food irradiation facility video).

Trying to compare non ionizing sunlight with man made ionizing radiation is not just illogical, it is insane. Try standing in the beams of a spent fuel pool in order to get a tan, and all you get is death. Sunlight is life, while ionizing radiation is nothing more than disease, genetic mutations and death on steroids. 

FOOD IRRADIATION DANGERS, BY KARL GROSSMAN

Enviro CloseUp #110: Food Irradiation with Michael Colby
The above video goes into details about how food irradiation facilities are causing more harm than good.

Bottom line, avoid irradiated food.

This same bacteria killing radiation also has negative effects outside of this 'controlled' setting. What happens when this same man made nuclear radiation that is inside of an irradiation facility, a nuclear reactor, a uranium mine or inside of a DU weapon, gets loose and is now out in the world?

WHY AND HOW DOES THE HARMFUL PRACTICE OF IRRADIATING CONTINUE DESPITE LEGAL BANS?


Angela_R April 20, 2016 Some further background on the use of cobalt-60 in irradiation plants in Australia
“In the 1980s, an international consumer campaign played a vital role in raising awareness about food irradiation. Worldwide, workers, environmentalists and consumers joined together to make wide-scale food irradiation an unpalatable business prospect. The nuclear industry seemed to back off. In Australia, a ten-year moratorium was placed on food irradiation in 1998. Irradiation virtually disappeared from the public eye.”

“In actual fact, the irradiation industry continued to expand, irradiating non-food products − such as packaging, bee hives, herbs, pharmaceuticals, medical products, pet food, therapeutic goods, wine corks, cosmetics, cereals and grains fed to meat animals. When the moratorium on food irradiation in Australia was lifted, the nuclear irradiation industry was already well entrenched.”

“In 2008/09, up to 100 Australian cats developed neurological disorders linked to their consumption of irradiated cat food. Irradiated cat food is now banned in Australia. But since then, Australian governments have amended trade rules to support the interstate movement of irradiated foods.”

Bee hives, umm

LIST OF FOODS THAT CAN BE IRRADIATED


MackOctober 17, 2011Irradiating food with Cobalt-60 or Cesium-137

List of foods that could be irradiated (look for “radura” irradiated label)

***spices, poultry, ground beef, strawberries, dried vegetables, white potatoes, papaya, spinach, iceburg lettuce, wheat, “onions, garlic, ginger root, chestnut,” pork, seafood, sausage, “prepared meals, hospital diets,” shell eggs, seeds, herb teas, tropical fruits imported to the US (dragon fruit, coconuts, longan, mango, mangosteen, pineapple, rambuten)…

NEGATIVE HEALTH EFFECTS OF IRRADIATED FOODS


Health effects of irradiated food:

* animals had “significant weight loss and reproductive defects”

* children: [...]“…five malnourished children in India, fed with 0.75kGy irradiated wheat.” “…after only four weeks four of them had developed gross chromosomal abnormality (polyploidy, abnormally large multiplication rate) in their bone marrow cells. It returned to normal 26 weeks after the irradiated wheat was removed from their diet.”

* “Lipid peroxidation caused by free radicals”

* “converts nitrates to nitrites”

* create free radicals

* “combine with existing chemicals (like pesticides)…to form new chemicals” such as “benzene, formaldehyde, lipid peroxides”

* “…lose 5%-80%” of vitamins “A, C, E, K and B complex.”

* “…damages natural digestive enzymes found in raw foods.”

Despite the irresponsible promotion of this process as safe, food irradiation destroys much of the vitamin content of food, produces a number of toxic byproducts: formaldehyde, benzene, and formic acid, as well as unique radiolytic products, e.g. 2-alklycyclobutanoes, that have been demonstrated to be cytotoxic (damages cells), genotoxic (damages DNA), and carcinogenic (causes cancer) in test tube and animal studies. (View peer-reviewed research on gamma irradiation here). 

RADIATION KILLS OR DAMAGES SOIL BACTERIA, STOPS DECOMPOSITION OF LEAVES, TREES, RECYCLING OF NUTRIENTS


Radiological damage to microbes near the site of the Chernobyl disaster have slowed the decomposition of fallen leaves and other plant matter in the area, according to a study just published in the journal Oecologia. The resulting buildup of dry, loose detritus is a wildfire hazard that poses the threat of spreading radioactivity from the Chernobyl area.

BENEFICIAL USES OF BACTERIA; THEY ARE PART OF THE WEB OF LIFE AND A KEYSTONE TO THE WHOLE FOOD CHAIN PLUS ESSENTIAL FOR HUMAN HEALTH; WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY DISAPPEAR?


Not many people think about the role that bacteria play in every day life, but they are a crucial part of the ecosystem. According to Wikipedia; "There are typically 40 million bacterial cells in a gram of soil and a million bacterial cells in a millilitre of fresh water. There are approximately 5×1030 bacteria on Earth,[4] forming a biomass which exceeds that of all plants and animals.[5] 

Bacteria are vital in recycling nutrients, with many of the stages in nutrient cycles dependent on these organisms, such as the fixation of nitrogen from the atmosphere and putrefaction. In the biological communities surrounding hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, bacteria provide the nutrients needed to sustain life by converting dissolved compounds such as hydrogen sulphide and methane to energy. 

On 17 March 2013, researchers reported data that suggested bacterial life forms thrive in the Mariana Trench, the deepest spot on the Earth.[6][7]Other researchers reported related studies that microbes thrive inside rocks up to 1900 feet below the sea floor under 8500 feet of ocean off the coast of the northwestern United States.[6][8] According to one of the researchers,"You can find microbes everywhere — they're extremely adaptable to conditions, and survive wherever they are."[6]

Most bacteria have not been characterized, and only about half of the phyla of bacteria have species that can be grown in the laboratory.[9] The study of bacteria is known as bacteriology, a branch of microbiology.

There are approximately ten times as many bacterial cells in the human flora as there are human cells in the body, with the largest number of the human flora being in the gut flora, and a large number on the skin.[10]The vast majority of the bacteria in the body are rendered harmless by the protective effects of the immune system, and some are beneficial.

HARMFUL BACTERIA


However, several species of bacteria are pathogenic and cause infectious diseases, including cholera, syphilis, anthrax, leprosy, and bubonic plague. The most common fatal bacterial diseases are respiratory infections, with tuberculosis alone killing about 2 million people a year, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa.[11]

ANTIBIOTIC USE CREATES SUPERBUGS


In developed countries, antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections and are also used in farming, making antibiotic resistance and superbugs a growing problem. 

In industry, bacteria are important in sewage treatment and the breakdown of oil spills, the production of cheese and yogurt through fermentation, and the recovery of gold, palladium, copper and other metals in the mining sector,[12] as well as in biotechnology, and the manufacture of antibiotics and other chemicals.[13]

STRESSING BACTERIA WITH RADIATION OR ANTIBIOTICS CAUSES MUTATIONS INTO SUPERBUGS


Bacteria, as asexual organisms, inherit identical copies of their parent's genes (i.e., they are clonal). However, all bacteria can evolve by selection on changes to their genetic material DNA caused by genetic recombination or mutations. Mutations come from errors made during the replication of DNA or from exposure to mutagens. Mutation rates vary widely among different species of bacteria and even among different clones of a single species of bacteria.[105] Genetic changes in bacterial genomes come from either random mutation during replication or "stress-directed mutation", where genes involved in a particular growth-limiting process have an increased mutation rate.[106] 

 (Stress happens due to man made chemicals, vaccines, and/or ionizing radiation, which cause those germs to mutate into Super Bugs.)

NITROGEN FIXING BACTERIA


In soil, microorganisms that reside in the rhizosphere (a zone that includes the root surface and the soil that adheres to the root after gentle shaking) carry out nitrogen fixation, converting nitrogen gas to nitrogenous compounds.[154] This serves to provide an easily absorbable form of nitrogen for many plants, which cannot fix nitrogen themselves. Many other bacteria are found as symbionts in humans and other organisms.

BACTERIA INSIDE HUMANS


For example, the presence of over 1,000 bacterial species in the normal human gut flora of the intestines contribute to gut immunity, synthesize vitamins such as folic acid, vitamin K and biotin, convert sugars to lactic acid (see Lactobacillus), as well as fermenting complex undigestible carbohydrates.[155][156][157] 

The presence of this gut flora also inhibits the growth of potentially pathogenic bacteria (usually through competitive exclusion). These beneficial bacteria are sold as probiotic dietary supplements.[158]"

LOW DOSE RADIATION HARMFUL TO ALL LIFE


Even low doses of radiation from man made radioactive elements can and do cause cancer, genetic diseases, diabetes, ALS, heart disease, leukemia and many more.  Man made radioactive elements are created by a fission process, which results in negative transmutation or decay of elements that ends in lead, which is also a deadly heavy metal, even in just minute quantities. The sun does not do any of this. The sun's rays do not result in decay or negative transmutation of elements. The sun's fusion process does not create heavy metals that ends in lead, which then poisons all of life.

The world is so full of beneficial bacteria and other organisms that it is hard to even comprehend how many there are, and how many benefits the world receives from them. It is unimaginable to think about what the world will be like, if radiation kills most or all bacteria, and what our lives would be like without them. Humans and all living things cannot survive without bacteria.

We now know that low dose radiation from man made radioactive elements harms, mutates and kills bacteria and other living things. Radiation around Chernobyl has been documented to harm and/or kill bacteria in the soil that are responsible for decomposing leaves and trees. This has the effect of increasing fire danger and reducing the amount of soil produced naturally in the forests. A forest fire in a radiation contaminated area spreads that radiation to other areas and the smoke is also full of radiation contaminated particles which are very hazardous to breathe in. 

THE DANGERS AND DOWNSIDES OF IRRADIATING SEEDS

The hormesis promoters like to believe that irradiating seeds is something beneficial. This article goes into all of the reasons why this hormesis theory around radiating seeds with things like cobalt is actually a very BAD idea.

Atomic Gardening - The Ultimate Frankenfoods
If you are not a fan of transgenic (GMO) technologies, just wait until you hear about the freakish practices scientists and big seed companies are sneaking under the radar! Now, scientists soak seeds or tissues in toxic chemicals or subject them to high fields of radiation to cause random damage and genetic changes. Random damage to DNA causes unknown effects that produce new proteins, leading to new plant traits. The new plant lines are untested for safety and not assessed for environmental impact. They want to put these on your dinner table and feed them to children!

SUMMARY


Super deadly bacteria are a result of bacteria being exposed to low dose radiation or man made antibiotics, which then causes bacteria to mutate into much more potent and deadly strains. Bacteria are mutated due to the stress or damage to their DNA. This is the same DNA radiation damage that happens to humans, animals and plants everywhere on this planet. This damaged and mutated DNA is passed on to infinite future generations, and with each future generation, more and more damage happens.

Nuclear energy is responsible for more and more deaths and diseases, in part through causing bacteria and viruses to mutate into more deadly forms. Man made nuclear energy and invisible radioactive heavy metal poisons should have no place on the planet.
