CHICKENS ARE SUBJECTED TO GAMMA RADIATION TO EXTEND SHELF LIFE, AND IT IS DAMN HARMFUL

Gamma rays can destroy living cells, produce mutations, and cause cancer.

Among the treatments, GAMMA irradiation dose 2.0 kG showed best results in terms of overall acceptability, microorganisms load and the shelf life extension of broiler meat. It may be concluded that gamma irradiation will enable to deliver the larger amount of broiler meat with extended shelf life

But if the irradiating dose is increased for greed, then Exposure to very high levels of radiation, such as being close to an atomic blast, can cause acute health effects such as skin burns and acute radiation syndrome (“radiation sickness”). It can also result in long-term health effects such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Research also shows that irradiation forms volatile toxic chemicals such as benzene and toluene, chemicals known, or suspected, to cause cancer and birth defects. Irradiation also causes stunted growth in lab animals fed irradiated foods.

Published research on irradiated foods reveals that irradiation does change, and can actually ruin, the flavor, odor, appearance and texture of food. Such research repeatedly finds that irradiated foods smell rotten, metallic, bloody, burnt, grassy and generally off.
