Irradiation is the "exposure of food to radiation by gamma rays, X-rays or electron beams to kill disease-causing organisms, and/or to extend the shelf life of foods. Potatoes, onions or other foods are put into metal containers, placed on conveyor belts and carried into large rooms where they are exposed to radioactive metallic elements, cobalt- 60 or cesium-137. Low doses of radiation inhibit sprouting in potatoes while high doses will completely sterilize foods, extending their shelf life for years, since all bacterial and ripening action is stopped. Between the highest and the lowest doses are levels of radiation sufficient to kill insects and microorganisms microorganisms such as salmonella and botulism. Using radiation on foods is not new. In 1908 it was found that tobacco pests could be killed with X-rays, and the need to feed troops during World War II gave a push to research efforts. In the last decade, interest in irradiation has grown because of concern for the world's food supply and concern over the effects of chemicals in agriculture and food processing. Irradiation is used in many countries around the world including The Netherlands, Israel and Japan. In Canada irradiation is presently allowed only on spices, potatoes and onions. To the question, "Does irradiated food become radioactive?" Dr. Eugene Wierbicki, chief researcher with the United States Department of Agriculture's Eastern Research Centre replied, "No. Just as an X-ray table doesn't become radioactive with repeated use, neither will food become radioactive. It's much like shining a flashlight onto a product. Once the rays are turned off, nothing remains." On the other side of the fence, John W. Gofman, professor emeritus of Biophysics and Medical Physics at the University of California said in an interview with the New York Times, "To really be able to say whether this technique has serious adverse effects on humans would require studies 20 to • 30 years on 100,000 or more subjects. That study has not been done. It's not likely to be done...We don't know what the longterm safety is." How does irradiation alter the vitamin and mineral content of food? Studies have shown that percentages of vitamin and mineral content in orange juice, beans and mackerel have been reduced by moderate to high doses of irradiation. If a large portion of the foods in our diet are to be irradiated, vitamin and mineral supplementation may be essential for proper nutrition. Every Canadian should be aware of the many methods and products used in growing and processing the food we eat. Labelling or otherwise identifying irradiated food is one step recommended by many to ensure consumer rights. The proprietor of your neighborhood health food store can help you find further information on irradiation and other health and nutrition issues. * courtesy of the Canadian Health Food Association and this newspaper.
