Question

Which of the following statements is false?


A>>Exposure of material to low doses of ionizing radiation makes it radioactive.

B>>The FDA has approved the use of radiation for certain foods.

C>>Radiation extends the shelf life of some perishable foods.

D>>Some critics say radiation may destroy some of the food's vitamins

Some critics say radiation may destroy some of the food's minerals.

Answer 1

The false statement is "A".

Exposure of material to low doses of ionizing radiation does not make that material radioactive. When you get an x-ray, you are not made radioactive either.

It is true that some critics SAY that radiation may destroy some of the foods vitamins. I doubt that very many people think radiation would destroy minerals (but that statement doesn't even have a letter so I guess it isn't one of the choices), but some critics have doubtless said that to because people will and have said nearly everything.

Answer 2

A is false. B, C, and D are true.

Answer 3

A is false.
