Histologic studies were made on the effects of long term feeding of irradiated peaches on 134 rats. The peaches were irradiated at 2.79 and 5.58 megarad, refei red to as 1X and 2X, respectively. Unirradiated peaches, referred to as OX, were used for control diet. The only differences, disregarding sex, arosc from a greater incidence of bone marrow lesions in the control animals as compared to those fed irradiated peaches. Tumors or lesions of general or specific types in the pancreas, pituitary, and adrenal glands were associated with females rather than males. The reverse was true of lesions in the liver, urinary bladder, mesenteric lymph nodes, and the thyroid gland. Interstitial lesions in the kidneys were more prevalent in the control and 2X groups than in the 1X group but there were no significant differences when control animals were compared to 2X animals. It was concluded that the ingestion of irradiated peaches by rats, under the conditions studied, produced no data that could be considered as unequivocally attributable to the ingestion of irradiated peaches.
