Organic vs. Commercial
We want to show you why organic grown food will provide your family with more nutrition than conventional grown food! If you’re buying your food from commercial sources, such as a grocery store, take a look at the difference in the quality of conventional versus organic food.

Rutgers University Study Comparing Organic versus Commercially Grown Foods
submitted by Dr. Gary Farr.
Scientists
Prove Superior Nutritive Value Of Organic Food!
Researchers at
Rutgers University set out to disprove the claim that "Organic Is
Better". They purchased selections of produce at supermarkets and health
food stores and analyzed for mineral content. Organic foods were those grown
without the use of chemical pesticides or artificial fertilizers. Non-organic
foods, referred to here as "commercial," were grown with a variety of
chemicals that enhance growth or destroy pests, many of which are known or
suspected carcinogens (cancer-causing) and which cause greater erosion to the
environment and wildlife.
The idea that organic
crops are nutritionally superior has been accepted largely on faith. There has
been very little hard evidence to support this supposition. Rutgers researchers
expected the organic produce to be maybe slightly higher in comparison, but the
results were astounding! The amount of iron in the organic spinach was 97% more
than the commercial spinach, and the manganese was 99% greater in the organic.
Many essential trace elements were completely absent in the commercial produce
whereas they were abundant, comparatively, in their organically grown
counterparts.
Chemically grown and pesticide treated foods (as is
shown in the chart above) do not contain the nutritional value of organically
grown food. Chemical fertilizers are made from chemically processed or refined
materials. They encourage plants to suck nutrients out of the soil, leaving it
infertile. Many contain harsh substances like sulfuric and hydrochloric acid,
which can leach into groundwater and pollute the environment and food supplies.
Organic fertilizers are made from natural materials.
Unlike chemical products, they encourage the soil’s growth of micro-organisms,
which break down old plant material and convert nutrients into food. Over time,
your soil becomes healthier and more fertile. Your plants grow hardy and
robust, year after year.
Earth worms find their way to organic soils, but will stay far
away from chemically treated soil. They
are pretty smart, aren’t they? We can
definitely learn from the beneficial critters of nature!
An
Important Note: You cannot wash the toxic chemical residue out of the produce;
they are a part of that food. You cannot
wash the pesticides off – they have leached through the skin into the fruit or
vegetable. When we eat foods grown in chemicals or sprayed with pesticides,
they leave toxic residue in our bodies that are stored at a cellular level. If they are not safely removed they can
contribute to sickness, disease and premature death.
We Offer Organic Gardening Workshops: In Ground Raised Bed Gardening, Container Gardening & Hydroponic Gardening Made Easy.
We Do Vibrant Life Health Seminars: Our focus is preventing and reversing disease naturally. A few of our topics are: sprouting for maximum health, obtaining and maintaining a healthy colon, organic grown for optimal health, introduction to successful organic gardening, never be sick again, 7 steps to optimal health, cellercise for anti aging, everything in life is a seed, years younger protocol and much more.
This is Wake Up Time:
It is the most critical time in the history of our nation to start teaching your children how to grow their own organic food and why it is so necessary to their future survival. Have you ever thought about how ignorant we have become to self survival; why the life style of living off the land has not been passed down from our ancestors? What about the children of this generation? Are we failing to equip them with the knowledge and tools that they so desperately need to become over comers in the world today? What about turning off the TV, the games, the entertainment, the junk food, the unhealthy life style of no exercise, etc., etc., etc. They have fallen into this trap because we have allowed them to. How about loving them enough to show them how to get back to the basics and to learn what it will take to survive in this world today.
Let's take them outside and teach them how to grow healthy, poison free food that will help to give them a healthy fighting chance in life! Make it a fun family affair! They are the future leaders of this nation. We must not leave them defenseless! To help organize an organic gardening workshop for the youth, please call Joy at 352-427-5440. Adults need to learn too, so they can teach their children and grandchildren. Do not let this awakening message pass you by. Take action now! We will show you how!!! We want to help.
