Why Non Organic Food is Bad For Your condition

I've been writing about the benefits of eating organic food for months. I've focused on why this food is so indispensable to wholesome living and how it makes us sparkle inside and out. One thing I haven't focused on is why your everyday non-organic food is so Bad for our health. I decided to go online and check out the ingredients that can be found in the food that many habitancy consume on a daily basis. It is more prominent than you think to read the ingredients that are in your food. Chances are if you can't read the label, you probably shouldn't eat it. Here some are examples of beloved foods and products along with their surprising ingredients. This is sure to make even the biggest skeptics think more about switching to pure organic food. Remember, you can feel comfortable that the food you are eating is safe when you switch to organic and you don't need a chemistry policy to translate the ingredients!

Gum, Instant Coffee, Tea, Pudding, Gelatin Desserts, Non-Dairy Creamers

Food

All of the above could comprise an additive known as acesulfame K that caused cancer in laboratory animal testing. This is an synthetic sweetener that is best known as "Sweet-One" or "Sunette". Aspartame has also been known to cause reasoning retardation if the phenylalanine reaches a toxic level in the blood.

Why Non Organic Food is Bad For Your condition

Bread, Canned/Bottled Drinks, Crackers, Cereal, Butter, Potato Flakes, Shortening, Seasonings, Soup Bases, Candy, Pet Food, Baked Goods and much more...

The above comprise Bht and Bha, antioxidant chemicals that are used as preservatives in foods containing fats and oils. They keep the fat from oxidizing and turning rancid. These chemicals could contribute to the improvement of cancer. The International group for explore on Cancer and the state of California have publicly recognized Bha as a likely carcinogen.

Meat

Sodium Nitrite and Nitrate are found in meat to keep freshness. Meat containing these chemicals can be a huge contributor to illness when cooked at high temperatures. Nitrate coverts to nitrite that in turn transforms into nitrosamines when it fuses with other compounds under high heat and this can cause cancer.

Chips and other snack foods: Jif Peanut Butter, Tide Detergent, Crest Toothpaste, Folgers Coffee

Always check the ingredients! Olestra can be found in the foods and products above. Would you jump off a cliff if your friends told you to? Then you should also say no if they offer you anyone containing Olestra. This disgusting additive is used as a fat change and is terrible for your health. It causes diarrhea because it sticks itself to all of the indispensable vitamins and minerals in your body that are used to help protect you from cancer, heart disease and blindness. Once it has clung itself to your vital nutrients, it flushes them out. As if this is not enough, Olestra is the gift that keeps on giving since it also inhibits your body's capability to dispell more vitamins. Talk about getting yourself malnourished over night!

Fruits and Vegetables, Juice, Soybean Oil, Sugar, Meat together with chicken, beef and pork

I can't stress adequate how prominent it is to buy organic produce to avoid pesticides. Pesticides build up in your ideas and are toxic. They forestall your body from releasing waste and block the absorption of nutrients. Many say that there may perhaps be a link in the middle of pesticides and the increased cases of autism that have occurred over last few years.

Quorn-Brand and Some Other Meat Substitutes:

This product contains mycoprotein, that may sound wholesome but it's not. It is mold. That's right, mold with added chemicals to make it look and taste like meat! The creators claim that it is a mushroom product but in fact it's mold that is grown in large tanks of liquid. They glamorize it a little stating that it undergoes "fermentation". Seriously, who in their right mind would even consider turning this fowl product into "food", never mind sell it for a profit? If you want real protein without the meat, organic beans are a great way to go. There is a huge collection and many dissimilar ways to put in order them.

Soda

I define soda as liquid trash. Soda may taste interesting, but is it that good that we should risk our lives to drink it? There is hardly anyone natural about it and the high-fructose corn syrup rots our teeth. Many brands of soda comprise sodium bicarbonate and citric acid (not the natural kind found in fruit, etc.). These chemicals together can change into a carcinogen under heat or light. I think I'll stick to water.

I saved the best for last...

Propylene Glycol and Ethylene Glycol can be found in...
Cosmetics, Food Seasonings, Lotions, Hand Sanitizer, Hair Color, Massage Oils, Hair Gel and Hairspray, Popcorn, Deodorant, Mouthwash, Medicine, Lubricants, Baby Wipes, Toothpaste, Pet Food, Salad Dressing, Cake Mixes, Soda, Sour Cream, and Fat-Free Ice Cream.

These chemicals contribute to the following:

  • Infertility
  • Birth Defects
  • Nerve Degeneration
  • Heart Problems
  • Brain, Liver and Kidney Abnormalities
  • Metabolic Problems
Propylene Glycol is also used in anti-freeze, electronic smoke machines, hydraulic fluid and as a solvent for pills (most notably Diazepam).

So, why go organic? I think the examine here is, why not?

Organic Food History and Current Trends

Farming practices used before the 1900's are classed as organic. It was only after this that added chemicals such as urea and Ddt were brought into farming - previous to this, farmers didn't have the knowledge and plainly put, were happy sufficient with things as they were; as most of us today would be. After all, home grown food is often the nicest, most tasty food we put on our plates.

For some reason, while the 1960's and 1970's the belief of organic food became a separate entity to the 'normal' food we were then buying. Consumers had been effectively duped into believing that what they were buying, was food as nature intended, it not appreciating that the chemicals which were added while increase of the 'normal stuff' were what in fact made the food abnormal in the first place.

Food

Rachel Carson, a foremost writer, biologist and ecologist established public awareness of these issues via 'Silent Spring', a book she wrote which basically brought about major controversy on the use of agricultural chemicals and synthetic pesticides in particular. As a direct supervene of this book, and the growing concern over the use of farm chemicals which consumers were suddenly more aware of, chemical regulation procedures were put into place, and when the demand for organically grown food rose, so did the need for added regulatory procedures to cut down on the ecologically destructive and toxic chemicals.

Organic Food History and Current Trends

Today, organic food is ultimately reaching an all time high of acceptance from consumers, so its demand is addition - more 'organically acceptable' agricultural procedures are gaining momentum, and it seems even though it is more costly than chemically treated foodstuffs, it is healthier, and it is that condition factor which is winning the battle against chemically treated consumables.

A creation of a whole new set of ideas about organic standards which first came into debate in 1990, took over ten years to refine to relative perfection, and they will still evolve as new practices come into force. It is by these standards now that, organic food and other products such as wool in the Usa is grown/gathered.

All of this though begs the questions - why can't farmers just grow food without chemicals at all, why does it need regulation, and why were chemicals introduced into grown food and other consumables in the first place; I think you already know the sass though, and that's money.

In this modern technological age where farmers are in direct competition between each other to gain the bigger contracts of the supermarkets and other food retailers, they have to be cheap. They plainly can't grow the vegetables (for example) as fast as the grocery store can sell them, so they have to resort to other methods to keep up, or did do at least until the consumers voice began to ring out strong and true.

Organic food is no longer a small niche in the food desires of Americans; it is becoming what every person wants. every person now wants and feels the need to eat in a more salutary fashion with the onset of so many new medical conditions which prove costly as it is; a itsybitsy more charge to eat something grown without strong use of chemicals (which could 'theoretically' make it worse) might mean a recovery health-wise instead.

The organic food trend of today is growing ever-stronger, and not just for vegetables even though at one point organic purchases totalled over 40% of all organic buys. Meat and fish which is organically produced is still at the bottom of all food purchases, but is interesting up the chain too. Dairy, bread and grain, beverages and snacks are all becoming more and more popular.

Today there are more Organic supermarkets popping up everywhere, sometimes in determined areas more than others - almost as though population in one state are more 'organic' than others but on the whole it is more of a blanket turn than just a few population trying to eat in a healthier way, the number of population eating organically is far more tremendous than most realize. Suddenly population have more choice, and this is obviously because the demand is there. The world is ultimately going organic, and with any luck the bigger grocery store chains will have to meet this demand, rather than flood the market with low-cost chemically treated alternatives.
