The conspiracy aganist Organic Food

You will hopefully have realised, before reading the article linked to above, that this week's appalling propaganda nonsense about organic food was a completely selective view of the truth.

And selective views of the truth mean what you are left with are lies. In essence, narrow down the criteria which makes a foodstuff "nutritious" and you can make it look like there is no difference between mass produced and organic crops and foodstuffs.

Change the criteria so that it casts a net widely over all elements that make a food good for you, and suddenly the picture is totally different. Indeed, the Soil Association's initial response actually notes what the study DOES say, and, guess what, contrary to the line taken, there ARE big difference between Organic and Big Farmer:

'For example, the mean positive difference between the following nutrients, when comparing organic to non-organic food, was found in the FSA study to be:

- Protein 12.7%
- Beta-carotene 53.6%
- Flavonoids 38.4%
- Copper 8.3%
- Magnesium 7.1%
- Phosphorous 6%
- Potassium 2.5%
- Sodium 8.7%
- Sulphur 10.5%
- Zinc 11.3%
- Phenolic compounds 13.2%

The researchers also found higher levels of beneficial polyunsaturated fatty acids in organic meat and dairy products (between 2.1% - 27.8% higher) compared to non-organic meat and dairy.

The Soil Association is also disappointed that the FSA failed to include the results of a major European Union-funded study involving 31 research and university institutes and the publication, so far, of more than 100 scientific papers, at a cost of 18million Euros, which ended in April this year.

The European Union research programme concluded that:

* 'Levels of a range of nutritionally desirable compounds (e.g. antioxidants, vitamins, glycosinolates) were shown to be higher in organic crops'

* 'Levels of nutritionally undesirable compounds (e.g. mycotoxins, glycoalkaloids, Cadmium and Nickel) were shown to be lower in organic crops'.

In addition, levels of fatty acids, such as CLA and omega 3 were between 10 - 60% higher in organic milk and dairy products, and levels of Vitamin C were up to 90% higher in leafy vegetables and fruits.'

So, there you have it - in plain sight, we have been given one conclusion ('organic foods no better'), when just looking below the headlines we see something COMPLETELY different.

It's worth noting that the nutrition values given to food are still the ones that were set in the 1950s. As was pointed out by Dr Susan Bardocz at her AV2 lecture, the nutrition values we place on foods are now way above what they are in reality. So much for your five fruit and veg a day - it would do some good if the mass-farmed produce had those sort of values in them, but thanks to the intensive farming we now need way, way more than this to make up the difference.

Research does show that the nutrition values have plummeted, meaning that our food no longer contains anything like the levels of selenium, magnesium and other essential minerals. This is why we are getting such an outbreak of obesity - many human bodies realise something is missing, so folk have to eat more and more to satisfy the body's cravings.

And what these folk tend to eat, the processed stuff, has even LESS of what we need. Microwaving food is one example of where we irradiate out valuable extras that are good for us!

And the salt we have on the table - the one ingredient in salt that is really, really bad for us is ... sodium chloride. This is why you should have Himalyan salt, or raw salt from the North of France. The 80+ minerals in these 'raw' salts, taken out when it is turned into white table salt, are essential in small amounts for the safe running of the human body. Removing them means we're missing stuff we need, and in fact the salt tastes better withy them in!

Oh, and want to know what to have instead of the flu jab? High doses of Vitamins C and D, and Echinacea.

And don't go for the "recommended daily amounts" - these are nonsense, and have been set at the lowest possible level so that no-one is done any "harm" by them. In other words, such doses don't do any good either.

For instance, I have daily Vit C tablets which are 30 times the RDA, and on Vit D five times the RDA. Echinacea is about three times the amount that "will not do me any harm".

Of course, I am beginning to stockpile all of these in time for the end of the year, when Codex Alimentarius comes into law and these sorts of doses will be unavailable to anyone, unless you swallow a bottle of the remaining "non-harmful" variants left on the shelves, every day!!!
