It’s a Fact: Organic Food Really IS Healthier

Worse still, pesticide exposure might be even greater than we know, thanks in part to GMO crops. Some types of pesticides aren’t even counted when assessments of contamination are being counted.  There is a type of bacteria in the dirt called Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis). It makes a natural toxin, a type of pesticide that splits open the stomach of certain bugs and kills them. Now this pesticide is actually allowed in organic farming and farmers apply this natural “pesticide” topically to crops. This natural substance photo-degrades over time, making it harmless by the time the crop reaches your dinner plate.

However, crops that have been genetically engineered with Bt, such as corn, have this gene from the soil bacteria built into its DNA. These plants create this toxin internally; it’s in every cell of these plants. This version of this poison is thousands of times more powerful, more concentrated, than the spray that organic farmers use and it cannot be washed off, it won’t photo-degrade, it’s built into the crop itself, but it isn’t counted when doing pesticide inventories, yet it’s inside very single kernel and you and your family are eating it.

As you might have heard, some pesticides have antibiotic properties that kill off microorganisms in the soil. RoundUp or glyphosate is a perfect example of this. Crops that are known as “RoundUp Ready” are designed to hold up to what would otherwise be lethal doses of this toxic chemical. Being told that these crops are immune to this chemical and that only the weeds will be killed off, allow farmers to spray their fields without restraint. Read more about RoundUp and pregnancy – vital information you should know.

Did you know that after crops are sprayed with these pesticides that they are not allowed to return to the field within 5 days? There is a good reason for this! In fact, if you get to know any farmers, you will find that they don’t eat the crops they are spraying. They usually have their own little organic garden going along on the side of their house, away from the crops and the pesticides, for their own consumption. Farmers who will not eat the food they are producing; it really makes you stand up and take notice, doesn’t it?

However, when glyphosate is sprayed on fields, not only is it destroying the fertility of the soil, it is encouraging the chemical resistance and antibiotic resistance in the human food chain.

From these studies it’s obvious that organic food far trumps conventional foods but isn’t it time that this insanity was stopped? It’s time for the American people to unite and fight back. Boycott every single product, every single GMO product, which is owned by members of the GMA, including organic brands.

   Nice article guys. It is vitally important that all GMO foods are labeled.

     I do not believe they should be labeled….I believe they should never be made in the first place…
     with as much food as is produced here in America, there is no need for GMO foods…
     It just all boils down to a greedy, self centered corporate america that could care less about its people & cares more for the all mighty U.S. Dollar.

   and they spent how many MILLIONS of dollars on this study?
   Millions of dollars that could have been spent on the homeless & those that have no food to eat….

   Think about it. You take every day foods that anyone can grow in their garden….
   when you leave out the pesticides, that 1 thing in and of itself, is enough to make the foods healthier.
   This isn’t rocket science, it’s just plain common sense…

   I know, there are those that are majorly lacking in that dept.

   but seriously, everyone with half a brain knows that pesticides are bad for you….

     Bad? It’s deadly and so are the toxins in the food, I for one am glad they do these studies, although I don’t believe it cost millions, you’re not sick yet so it’s not a reality, I was the same way, now it’s to late for me…No one wants to believe how cruel and greedy people can be, but if you know how to love, make sure you do your homework to keep loved ones alive and well :]
