Re: EM pulses affect milk?!!!

I do recall that you can convert ergosterol oleate (ingrediant in milk) to
something akin to mustard gas by radiating it with UV.  (This was some
cancer research I was involved with back in the 60's). Basically, UV, by
breaking hydrogen bonding, can seriously modify most anything into
something bad.  Karl
