FWD: irradiation

[js_dukelow@ccmail.pnl.gov (James S Jr Dukelow)]

Perhaps some RADSAFE readers can respond to this request from a county extension
dietician posted to the food safety mailing list FOODSAFE.  Please respond 
directly to Ms. Vrabel, since she is unlikely to be a RADSAFE subscriber.

Best regards.

Hepl... I am writing an article for a consumer oriented newsletter I send 
out in my county.  I would appreciate  comments and facts on the pros and 
cons of food irradiation.  I have heard that bandages, sterilized pads, and 
feminine hygiene products...could some one verify this?  is it the same 
kind of irradition treatment?
If you could attach reference articles for me to read I would appreciate 
it.  Thanks . Vicky Vrabel, R.D.
