Let's use those atoms wisely, now.

Should Our Meat Be Irradiated?
http://families-first.com/news/meat-rads.htm
I am a quality assurance manager at an apple juice factory, and have had
the
opportunity to make organic apple juice. Let me assure you, organic
apples
are just that...organic!!! They are generally the most rotten and moldy
apples around our plant. To support this factlet me point out another
little-
known fact, patulin is a highly toxic chemical found on apples and in
apple
juice. It is not man-made, but a product of nature. It is a byproduct
of
mold (mold poop if I may). The World Health Organization has put a
limit of
50 parts per billion of patulin in apple juice (that's like $50 in a
$billion). When our plant makes organic apple juice it is not uncommon
to see
levels of patulin in the 300 ppb range!
I fully support the irradiation of some of our nation's food supply.
Talk to
some of the parents whose children have died from E.coli. contamination
(beef
or unpasteurized apple juice), I'm sure they would agree that something
must
be done. If we do not study the effects of radiation on the food
supply, we
will continue down the road of blindness when it comes to the benefits
of the
nuclear industry, and continue to deplete our earth of its natural
resources.
When the power of the atom is used wisely, we stand to benefit in areas
we
have never dreamed possible.
