Radiation is broadly defined as energy moving through space in invisible waves. Radiant energy has differing wavelengths and degrees of power. Light, infrared heat, and microwaves are forms of radiant energy. So are the waves that bring radio and television broadcasts into our homes. Broiling and toasting use low-level radiant energy to cook food.
The radiation of interest in food preservation is ionizing radiation, also known as irradia-tion. These shorter wavelengths are capable of damaging microorganisms such as those that contaminate food or cause food spoilage and deterioration.
That capability, plus the fact that much of our food supply is lost due to spoilage and insects each year is why scientists have been experimenting with irradiation as a method of food preservation since 1950. They have found irradiation to be a controlled and very predictable process.
Food Irradiation
A lot of science backs this as a good idea.
So would you trust and/or prefer food to be persevered for you to consume this way? Whether yes or no, could you please explain why along with this answer whether or not it violates your personal religious believes if any and why.
Please reflect your thoughts in the pole
Thanks in advance.
