EpigeneticsAndNutriton.com is a source for optimal health and wellness! This information on the benefits of organic food should change the way you shop forever!

The way I shop and the decisions I make are very simple. I purchase organic food, as much as possible for health and prevention of disease and preservation of the environment.

When I saw this new disturbing video, I wanted to quickly get this out as fast as I could in regards to the glaring benefits of organic food. I know that many people are unknowingly being exposed to harmful chemicals that could cause them serious health problems. This video I’m sharing with you today is incredibly enlightening. It drives home the benefits of organic food!

Wait until you see what happens to an average family that eats conventional (non-organic) food and then makes the switch to organic. The way you shop for groceries will change forever!. In just 2 short weeks, this family experienced an amazing transformation! 

This past January, the independent Swedish Environmental Research Institute conducted a small experiment, involving a family of five (two adults and three children), to determine if there would be any significant changes in the levels of pesticides in each of their bodies while eating a diet consisting of organic food only .

Each family member gave urine samples every day for a week while they ate all conventional non-organic foods, and then every day for two weeks after they switched to all an all organic diet, so that they could analyze it for pesticide levels. It should be noted that the term “pesticides” is an all-inclusive term for a harmful chemicals that kills pests, including weeds, such as herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and growth inhibitors.

Do we know the full effects of consuming these poisons?

There could be the argument that the levels of pesticides in this families bodies were low when they were eating conventional food, and that the pesticide levels weren’t high enough to cause serious health problems. However, this team of researchers said we don’t know that for sure at this time. They expressed concerns that we don’t yet know enough about the effects of all of these harmful chemicals, especially when they are combined in the body:

“the system for risk assessing chemicals is suitable only for one substance at a time. There is, therefore, no approved method for making an overall assessment of the effect of multiple chemicals simultaneously, i.e. the possibility that chemicals interact with one another to give a stronger or weaker effect than they would have individually. This is commonly called the “combination effect” or popularly known as the “cocktail effect”….

Given how little we currently know about the combination effects of all the different chemical substances that people are exposed to in their day-to-day lives, it may be wise to apply a principle of caution in this regard.”

Why Organic Food is Better

What did the researchers say about the results? This cements the benefits of organic food.

• Exposure to pesticides is reduced when we eat organic food instead of conventionally grown food that is sprayed.

• Consuming organic foods will not only reduce the levels of pesticides that we are exposed to through what we eat, but will also reduce the risk of a long-term impact and “cocktail effect”.

• Concentrations of selected pesticides were reduced by an average factor of 9.5 when the family switched to organic  from conventional food.

In relative terms, the children’s level decreased more than the adults’ in the going from conventional to organic food, probably due to their higher food consumption relative to their bodyweight.

Additionally, Consumer Reports recently came out with a scientific report on pesticides, and they recommend choosing organic food to decrease your exposure to pesticides. Consumer Reports stated,

“organic is always the best choice because it is better for your health, the environment, and the people who grow our food”.

Okay, after absorbing all this information, are you still concerned about the cost of organic foods?

Or, have you seen the light and realize the true benefits of organic food? It’s really up to you, pay your local farmer or pay the hospital!
