Symposium and Forum
FFC World and Symposium 2001
Coinciding with the completion of the Utopia Farm complex, FFC WORLD 2001 was underway as an exhibition of FFC Technology put to use. This event was organized to commemorate the compilation of 16 years of FFC Technology research and use. In addition to the forum featuring university researchers from a variety of fields, businesses exhibited products which they had improved by using FFC Technology and FFC Association members displayed the results of various FFC experiments. One test requested people to send 2 jars of rice; 1 prepared normally and another prepared using FFC. Ten-thousand people submitted samples which resulted in a powerful demonstration of the replication and reliability of FFC effectiveness. Despite the water quality variation between the ten-thousand different homes sampled, it was clear to any observer that while the FFC prepared rice did not rot easily, the rice without FFC rotted over time as normally expected.
International Forum on FFC Technology 2005, 2009
The world's understanding of FFC Technology advanced rapidly with "The 2005 International Forum on FFC Technology". Held July 12th and 13th in the city of Nagoya at the height of the "World Exposition of Global Harmony"; the forum brought together the world's leading researchers in FFC Technology to announce their research and findings to the 1500 attendees. The head of the Harvard University Asia Center, Jon Mills, led the assemblage of 8 of Harvard's top minds in the fields of economics, health and environment to advance the world's recognition of Akatsuka's FFC Technology together with Japan's top FFC researchers from various universities.

AISET 2006
FFC Pairogen awarded Anti-Aging Grand Prize at AISET 2006
On June 17th, Akatsuka's FFC Pairogen drink was awarded the Grand Prize at the Anti-aging International Symposium & Exposition in Tokyo 2006 (AISET 2006). This is the first year that AISET was held in Japan by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M), the world's largest organization of professionals focused on the promotion of preventive health care in order to retard and optimize the human aging process. This medical organization conducts hands-on training of over 30,000 doctors a year with members from over 100 countries around the world.
The general session of AISET 2006 featured over 50 lectures and workshops by doctors on the forefront of anti-aging medicine. A presentation about water and anti-aging by Professor Joseph Brain, Director of the Harvard University Center for Environmental Health, revealed the results of some of the newest FFC and FFC Pairogen research being conducted at Harvard University with cooperation from MIT. Dr. Ataru Kuroiwa of the Fukuoka University School of Medicine gave presentations on anti-oxidants and anti-aging which featured the results of their research on the strong anti-oxidant effects of FFC Pairogen. Dr. Tomohisa Hirobe, Team Leader of the National Institute of Radiological Science Radiation Effect Mechanism Research Group, presented their findings of FFC Water and FFC Pairogen's dramatic role in promoting skin health science and anti-aging.
The International Anti-aging Grand Prize Trophy
The AISET 2006 committee awarded the grand prize trophy to FFC Pairogen out of nearly 300 entries submitted for anti-aging prize consideration. They noted that the FFC PAIROGEN drink, developed with the Akatsuka Group's FFC Technology, has a long track record of being utilized throughout Japan from homes to factories and that FFC Pairogen's "great contribution to an anti-aging society extends from individual health to environmental health."
