Comments on: Anti-Organic Statement so Slanted it Can Make You Sicker Than a Bag of DDT http://www.nutritionresearchcenter.org/healthnews/organics-are-better-article-is-so-slanted-it-can-make-you-sicker-than-a-bag-of-ddt/ Whole Food Supplements Sat, 10 Jul 2010 23:28:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: admin http://www.nutritionresearchcenter.org/healthnews/organics-are-better-article-is-so-slanted-it-can-make-you-sicker-than-a-bag-of-ddt/comment-page-1/#comment-6364 admin Tue, 16 Mar 2010 22:23:48 +0000 http://nutritionresearchcenter.org/healthnews/?p=1946#comment-6364 Thank you for your input. It is always wise to find out who is behind the studies that knock organics, because you will usually find a large conglomerate like Monsanto at the helm. Organic food is indeed more nutritious than non organic, but as important, organic foods are not destroying life as we know it on this planet. You can read my book Evil Genius in the Garden of Eden to see what's going on in terms of pollution and cancer rates from the agri-business. If you'd like to look into the organic industry, I suggest reading the websites of ewg.org (Environmental Working Group) and, especially, http://www.organicconsumers.org/. The organics industry is not without its faults, but increasingly, big corporations, including Whole Foods and others, are sullying the waters and eroding the meaning of organics.

There is still some poisons in there but its less than you would get from breathing in New York. But organic food is literally covered in natural fertilizers(such as manure) and while it is washed multiple times there is the same amount OR MORE of cow poop in the organic food than is in the non-organic food. Also, Eating food that has not been treated with herbicides is horribly dangerous considering the diseases that can be carried in them. It balances out to some degree, but if you really think that non-organic food is so bad for you that you will disregard MULTIPLE studies that have found it to have no more nutritional value than non-organic food, then you need to re-look. And most scientists will not cite OTHER scientists on something that is a base study rather than building off a different discovery.
