Foods that pass through an X-ray scan receive radiation, but cannot harm the human body.
The statement came from radiologist Maxim Krasnykh, Gadin.Net reports citing publika.az.
"Ionizing radiation is more concentrated in dense tissues, and given that food does not consist of dense particles, the ionizing radiation accumulated in them has virtually no effect on the body," said the doctor.
The expert said that the radiation would not be more harmful than the surrounding technology. At the same time, in his opinion, you can get a stronger dose of such products while flying. In addition, according to the doctor, the radiation can not only accumulate in the tissues, but also be washed away from them.
