Black pepper has long been recognized as a stimulant to appetite as
well as an aid in the relief of nausea. In India it is being used
since time immemorial as a medicine for a number of health problems.

All or nearly all black pepper imported into the U.S. is
irradiated. Why did you not mention that? Have you already
made the decision that food irradiation is safe for everyone,
and therefore you should not propagate that information
to consumers? Did someone pay you to do that? You don't
want consumers to have complete information when making
buying decisions? Why is that?

And yet, somehow you were able to post a follow-up
on Tuesday at 12:09 PM to a post of mine asking about
whether the health issues related to the attempted
robbery.

As a child, did you also cheat at hide-and-seek,
peering through your finger?

I don't think there is a way to prosecute the
spammer for giving poor and incomplete medical
advice, or posting promotions for the two
nutritional supplement selling web sites
that he posted.

Mandrake, do you realize that in addition to irradiating water, why, there
are studies underway to irradiate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar,
milk...peppercorns. peppercorns, Mandrake, children's peppercorns.

I'm so grateful that I wasn't drinking anything when your post came

Do people seriously believe that nuclear particles persist in foods
after irradiation? If not, I wonder what they are afraid of? Having seen
some of the side effects of folk medicine, I'm distinctly suspicious of
that too. That's not to say there are not useful natural products but I
remember an Amazon tribe with one of the world's highest incidences of
stomach cancer caused by a quite effective throat gargle.

"Nuclear particles" was never the concern. The concern
is free radicals, which are produced by the random breaking
of chemical bonds in the food by radiation. Free radicals
are highly reactive molecular fragments implicated in
inflammation, aging, carcinogenesis, etc.

"Natural" does not mean "safe", and it never has.

There are still people who are frightened of microwaves. Aunt Pearl will
not use one because she is afraid her body hair will fall out. ;-)
