 New Research was presented at the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society describing the inadequacies of disinfecting produce with water or even with chlorine or chemical solutions. So, what did these infinitely intelligent minds come up with? Irradiating our food, that’s right, irradiation. “Irradiation exposes food to a source of electron beams, creating positive and negative charges. It disrupts the genetic material of living cells, inactivating parasites and destroying pathogens and insects in food, including E. coli and Salmonella”, says one researcher. So, what do they speculate this does to the genetic material of the living cells of the fruits and vegetables?
The frightening thing is “60 percent to 90 percent of consumers indicated that they would buy irradiated food when told of the benefits of the process and the endorsement of health authorities.”
Don’t be part of that 60 - 90 percent. Scientists are little kids in big bodies playing with fire in my opinion and as a result, the population is getting sicker every year.
So how can you get clean your produce without irradiation?
Hydrogen Peroxide and Vinegar! It’s that simple.
When used together, they are more powerful than chlorine bleach and kill bacteria more effectively than any commercial cleaner. Testing done by food scientists at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University demonstrated that when these two substances were used together virtually all Salmonella, Shigella, and E. coli bacteria were killed on heavily contaminated food and surfaces.
Here’s How to Do It:
- Purchase a bottle of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide, a bottle of plain white or apple cider vinegar, and two spray bottles.
- Spray food with both vinegar and hydrogen peroxide, then rinse with water. (Using one mist right after the other is ten times more effective than one spray by itself and more effective than mixing both into one bottle)
There is no lingering taste of vinegar or hydrogen peroxide, and neither is toxic if any residue remains.

In taking a poll of 100 people I discovered that the majority of people don’t get as excited for summer as they did when they were children. Why is that? The same warm weather, bright sunshine, and summer fun awaits us as it did when we were children. What causes this change in perception of such a happy season? Most people are so stuck in their winter doldrums that they can’t even begin to look forward to something that used to love when they were young. I’ve taken the top four complaints that I've heard and have outlined do-it-yourself solutions so you are free to embrace summer. 
If you’re still consuming artificially sweetened drinks like Crystal Light, Diet Snapple, and Diet Soda to save calories and lose weight you may want to think again.
