Hey, it's Marco! Food irradiation exposes food to the equivalent of 30 million chest X-rays.
Irradiation creates new chemicals in foods called radiolytic products. Some of these products are known cancer-causing substances (like benzene in irradiated beef). Others are unique to the irradiation process and no one knows what effects these have on human health.
Irradiation destroys essential vitamins and nutrients that are naturally present in food. No studies have been done to show that a long-term diet of irradiated foods is safe. Any idea what cesium 137 and cobalt 60 might be?? I can hear my future grandchildren asking, "Hey, Gramps, did you eat organic when you were little?"
