Sox 499I, Hilo, Hawaii [96720] F~~C 808.935.5988 <br /> I <br /> In the Hilo paper, the promoter of irr diata'o compares food <br /> irradiation to microwaves. I couldn't agree more', with the <br /> comparison. Although microwaves are not onizjn radiation, thus <br /> having much less potential to produce dise e-ca~~ng effects in our <br /> food, studies in Europe have showed that ogle (Keating microwave- <br /> cooked food after just a couple weeks alrea y sh W the same type of <br /> changes in the blood as those seen among c ncer ii, patients. Don't we <br /> have more than enough cancer in America? Thy? tstatistics are rapidly <br /> increasing toward 1 in 2 expected to get ca cer 'd ring their lifetime <br /> by the year 2000 if we don't do something diffex;e~t. Shipment and <br /> storage of more radioactive materials to our 'slang is not going to <br /> help. Exposure of food to devitalizing, dam gingjl'rradiation is not <br /> going to help. Most people on the island a read ' have radioactive <br /> byproducts of the plutonium industry in the r hoes and offices.' <br /> We should be getting rid of such an undesi able .p'~resence, not <br /> increasing it. Will radioactive material be s ippec# in by boat? How <br /> would a spill in Hilo Bay be handled? By r?
