How 'green' are you?

There are those who thing water is a 'crystaline' structure, that can be ordered and disordered. Actually, there's bonafide research, recently, that implies why homeopathic solutions work - ever after being completely strained of the herbal, etc, material - due to zero point energy resonances.

--- Quote --- The Food and Drug Administration has approved irradiation of meat and poultry and allows its use for a variety of other foods, including fresh fruits and vegetables, and spices. The agency determined that the process is safe and effective in decreasing or eliminating harmful bacteria. Irradiation als
o reduces spoilage bacteria, insects and parasites, and in certain fruits and vegetables it inhibits sprouting and delays ripening. For example, irradiated strawberries stay unspoiled up to three weeks, versus three to five days for untreated berries.
Food irradiation is allowed in nearly 40 countries and is endorsed by the World Health Organization, the American Medical Association and many other organizations.
Irradiation does not make foods radioactive, just as an airport luggage scanner does not make luggage radioactive. Nor does it cause harmful chemical changes. The process may cause a small loss of nutrients but no more so than with other processing methods such as cooking, canning, or heat pasteurization. Federal rules require irradiated foods to be labeled as such to distinguish them from non-irradiated foods.

Thanks, MC, for the heads-up.

Microwaves fall into the radio portion of the spectrum. It is non-ionising and thus leaves no lingering effect on the food. Most credible studies state that a microwave does not remove any more nutrients than other methods and removes less than many methods (e.g. boiling).

Who said anything about pesticides? I'm talking about irradation in my example.
Hello? McFly? Beuller? Is this thing on?

im hearing you, its just that youre not making sense, irradiation wont stop e coli poisoning either, and i find it bizarre you crave the less healthy alternative

hmm, not sure what you mean by fast oxidiser and protein type, but i would say to you,
protein is needed in small amounts by the body and therefore from the diet, say 100g of meat is more than enough for a day, and if by sugars you include carbohydrates , you need to change your diet completely as i would say its shortening your life more than anything, and again friut yes, try to eat 2-3 pieces a day
