Abstract
We show that delinking of Z-string loops changes helicity and thus violates baryon number. The key point is that an unlinked vortex loop can not be twisted. Helicity of an eventual magnetic twist when averaged in time is zero.

more stress on topology, time-averaged helicity of magnetic twist is shown to be zero
