Re: Ozonating food and water??

[Guest guest]

Interesting thought.

Our hot tub has an ozonator -- I don't think I'd buy tanks of it, but rig up

something with an ultraviolet light. The water goes past ultraviolet (just a

black light tube) and ozone is produced. I have no idea if it kills off the

" good " germs or not, but they are tough. The Lacto bugs survive our stomachs

easily, and most bugs don't. Ozonation is considered a good way to sterilize

water, more effective than chorination, and it's being used in Europe.
