Greetings,
This week, our topic will be the issue
of Organic Foods. The term organic refers to the
method of producing the food, not the food itself.
Organically grown means that the specific food is
grown in a venue free of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers
and other substances. They are minimally processed
and virtually none contain artificial ingredients,
preservatives or have been irradiated. You will
also see the term "without GMOs." This means that
the food is not a Genetically Modified Organism(s)

Interest
in organically grown foods has risen steadily since
the early 1980's. One of the reasons often cited
is the 1994 study by the Environmental Working Group
which noted that 80% of commerically grown peaches,
apples and celery contained residues of 1 or more
pesticides even after thorough rinsing. In 1987,
the NAS(National Academy of Science) reported that
pesticides alone might cause an extra 1.4 million
cancer cases among Americans. They also noted another
concern is the use of GMOs in seeds. When "abnormal"
engineering is ued, a gene from 1 plant or animal
is transplanted into the same species. People have
major health (and ethical) concerns about this procedure
to say the least.

If
you are taking DHEA or Pregnenolone, these substances
should be taken every OTHER day. Taken on a daily
basis can contribute to glandular atrophy or shutdown,
both dangerous conditions.

So
what choice(s) do we have? The major one is to purchase
organic. Why? Here are the major reasons: 1. Organic
produce protects your health more than commerical.
Lab tests have shown that pesticides are toxic and
harmful to the human system. Organic foods are also
free of the aforementioned GMOs. 2. Organic produce
is nutritionally superior, containing higher mineral
content while maintaining the integrity of the soil.
3. It fresher and tastes better. 4. It is better
and safer for our environment. Each year, 911 million
pounds of synthetic pesticides are applied to conventional
crops here in the USA.

A recent study regarding nutrition and sports revealed
the ideal ratio of protein to carbohydrates both
during and after training is 1 to 4. Originally,
the notion of protein intake during training was
dismissed but mounting evidence suggests that protein
in this ratio is ideal for improved strength and
endurance. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You will have to pay more but your
health is worth it. Whenever possible, think "Organic
Foods."
To your health,
