[ RadSafe ] Re: radsafe Digest, Vol 180, Issue 4 - Pet Food Irradiation Issue

[Leo M. Lowe]

Hi,

I found the record of the broadcast you note below  at 
http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2008/s2464272.htm#

Are you absolutely sure that there is not something to  this?  As I 
indicated in a previous message, go the Origen website at 
http://www.orijen.ca/orijen/about/ and click on "Australia Only" 
toward the top left-hand side of the page.   Based on the information 
updates, it appears that the pet food company has done a great deal 
of research into this issue, including using veterinary specialists 
and toxicologists.

Is it not possible that the high-level irradiation caused the effects 
noted (e.g., significant reduction in Vitamin A, etc) in cats fed 
solely with this pet food?    I suppose more research will tell.

Regards,
Leo Lowe
