[Online] Retrieved December 4, 2000
As the teachings of Kant fell from favor and the time of Darwin approached, the idea of
spontaneous generation began to fall from popular favor. The religious institutions of the mid 1800’s were
bothered by one of the consequences of spontaneous generation. Perhaps Redi put it best when he said "I
shall express my belief that the Earth, after having brought forth the first plants and animals at the
beginning by order of the Supreme and Omnipotent Creator, has never produced any kinds of plants or
animals, either perfect or imperfect; and everything which we know in past or present times that she has
produced, came solely from the true seeds of the plants and animals themselves, which thus, through means
of their own, preserve their species." Interpretations of spontaneous generation indicated that life could
appear without the hand of God, which prompted many scientists to study the doctrine.
Enter French scientist Louis Pasteur, the man credited by modern texts as ending the debate and
refuting the doctrine of spontaneous generation. By 1862 when he wrote his first memoirs concerning
spontaneous generation, Pasteur was already a popular and prominent scientist due to his discoveries of
bacterial fermentation and the process we now know as pasteurization.”

idea that the gut can be operating its own nervous system was shocking," recalls Michael Gershon, now

“FAQs About Food Irradiation.” pure-food.com
& irradiation.com [Online] Retrieved October 14, 2000
Q. If food is not made radioactive, then why is it not safe?
A. When food is irradiated the radiation breaks up the molecular structure of the food and createsa whole
new set ofchemicals known as "unique radiolytic products" (URPs).These URPs include benzene,
formaldehyde and a host ofknown mutagens and carcinogens. Irradiation kills vitamins, friendly bacteria
and enzymes, effectively rendering the food "dead" and therefore useless to your body.In addition,some
of the friendly bacteria that is killedproduces odors indicating spoilage and some friendly bacteria
naturally control the growth of harmful bacteria.
Q. Is there a way to test to see if food has been irradiated?
A. Yes.Because the damage done to the food is detectable. link to testing company
Q. Does irradiation kill all of the deadly bacteria?
Usually not.It can leave still dangerous bacteria on the food,allowing people to still become sick.In
addition,studies have shown that irradiating microorganisms like E. coliand salmonella may give rise to
even more dangerous,radiation-resistant strains of bacteria.Radiation-resistant strains of bacteria have
been developed under laboratory conditions and scientists found that one particular bacteria can survive a
radiation dose five times what the FDA will allow for beef.Scientists exposed this bacteria to 10 and 15
kilograys of radiation for several hours,enough radiation to kill a person several thousand times over;the
bacteria survived.
Q. Have there been studies of the health consequences of food irradiation?
A. Yes, hundreds. However the FDA only sites 5 of those studies in their push to irradiate, and some of
those studies have since been proven flawed.Short term studies were done on children in India,and
blood tests showed chromosomal damage to the children after 6 weeks.Short term tests were done on dogs
using irradiated beef;the dogs ended up with enlarged spleens and swollen lymph nodes. Other studies,
including those done under contract for the U.S. Government indicate thepossibility of immunotoxicity,
kidney disease,cardiac thrombus,testicular damage and fibroplasia.
Q. Why does the FDA allow irradiation?
***
This is a very complicated issue. In the beginning, food irradiation was part of the "ATOMS FOR PEACE" program which looked for ways to get rid of nuclear waste. The main push was made by the International Atomic Energy Agency and the Atomic Energy Commission. In addition, the Dept. of Energy (DOE) which wants to get rid of the radioactive waste Cesium 137,paid companies to take this waste. Those companies then lobbied congress so they could irradiate food. Cobalt 60 is currently the radioactive source for food irradiation,but the DOE hopes that with the proposed expansion of food irradiation,the Cobalt 60,which is in limited supply will run out,and Cesium 137 will again be used.Next you have some of the large meat processors (three corporations control 80% of the market) which instead of cleaning up their production system, would rather irradiate, as it is cheaper.The irradiation companies lobby the processors, the processors lobby congress and the FDA (which has on its board former and future executive employees of the food processingand nuclear companies). The FDA then also lobbies congress.In addition, with all of the news about E. coli and salmonella, our uninformed congressmen think they are"protecting" the food supply.In addition,the multi-national food processing companies stand to make billions by extending the shelf life of some foods.
The food safety issue is basically a guise.The real issues are the multi-national corporations making
billion$ more by extending shelf life of food,the million$ the processors would save by not having to
"clean up their acts",and our government wanting to "dump" radioactive waste.

[Scientists in Europe have discovered that increasing numbers of complex drugs - including heart medication, anti-depressants, anti-epileptics, anti-cancer chemicals, cholesterol-lowering medicines, sex hormones, antibiotics, hormone replacement, aspirin, vitamins and ibuprofen - are surviving the human digestive system, passing through sewage works and entering rivers and the sea.
Dr Thomas Ternes, of Germany's Institute for Water Research, carried out sampling at one sewage works outfall and found 36 different drugs, plus five other compounds that had been metabolised from them before they left the patient.
Scientists are blaming the drug pollution for some of the widespread and until now unexplained mass deaths of tiny aquatic organisms. Some drugs, especially anti-depressants, have also been found to alter sperm levels and spawning patterns in aquatic life. Musks and chemicals used in perfumes, and compounds from suntan lotion, have been found to have accumulated in fish.]

Nor is bleaching the only threat to corals. Increasingly, Cervino points out, these colonies are also exhibiting infections, tumors, and "obscure" lesions. "We've been going to photos of corals from as far back as the 1930s," he says, and find no sign of many of these diseases.
Over the past 15 years, for instance, "there has been a very striking increase in the frequency and extent of harmful algal blooms," notes JoAnn M. Burkholder, an aquatic botanist at North Carolina State University in Raleigh.
HEED's data now link many of these blooms of poison-producing algae to pollution (SN: 9/27/97, p. 202) and a widespread warming of coastal and shallow waters.Moreover, Burkholder observes, HEED's data suggest that the ecological impacts of these blooms are more pervasive than most biologists had realized. Until recently, scientists typically investigated marine disease outbreaks as isolated incidents. The idea that some might be linked struck Epstein when he began ruminating about a host of events in 1987.

Alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs) are chemicals found in many industrial and consumer products. Most often they are used as surfactants (surface active agents, better known as detergents), in everything from hair dyes to pesticides. Some are also used in contraceptive products.
Surfactants are synthetic chemicals which can cut through grease. They are the key ingredient in almost all water-based cleaners. Surfactants are usually fairly large molecules; the water-soluble end of an APE is called the ethoxylate chain. The oil-soluble end is called the alkyl chain and is made up of a string of carbon atoms. If there are nine carbons, the structure is called nonyl, and the compound is a nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE).
