Irradiated food
Why do we irradiate food? We irradiate food to preserve it and make it safer for use. Many people around the world get sick from contaminated or spoiled food. Every fruit or food that has been irradiated must be labeled with the label of radiation. On one hand irradiation is very helpful, but on the other it can be harmful because some nutrients of the food are being lost. Radiation kills living cells. People don’t die from irradiated food, but they could get cancer from it if they eat it every single day of their life. We still don’t know all the consequences the irradiation could have on human’s health on long term. There still has to be done a lot of research.
So, if you were offered irradiated food, would you eat it? Why or why not?
