I think the pseudoscience of drinking radioactive water from a lined crock pot may have had more detrimental effects than benefits. Maybe it was just the presents of arsenic and lead though. Without the lead and arsenic, a little irradiated water daily might have held some real health benefits. but just Iodine tablets we were issued to purify our drinking water in the military. A little once in a while can be a good thing especially for thyroid health but a constant daily intake could cause some individuals to develop health issues which may have led to thyroid cancer.

Irradiating foods is done to kill bugs to increase the life of fruit for example. It does not leave the objects radio active.
There are thousands of uses for radio active isotopes in modern industry and medicine.

Yeah, some is good and some is bad. My wife has had a 3.2mm spot in one of her lungs for several years It was first noticed more than 50 years ago with a chest xray. 6 months ago our med ins. demanded scans the same spot was found in a CT or pet scan still 3.2 mm and again 2 months ago, it appeared to have grown to 3.6mm. A biopsy was ordered and determined that it might be cancer The operative word here, (might be). Referred to a chemo doctor who said due to my wife being 80 years old she was reluctant to recommend chemotherapy at that time for fear it would trigger cells in other parts of her body to turn cancerous. So, Jane was sent to a laser guy. After 5 treatments, the last pet scan showed the spot was most probably gone just the expected residual discoloration haze in the area Come back in 3 months. My question is why after 50 years the spot suddenly grew in 4 months after a scan ordered by the ins company?
