Many
people complain that organic is more expensive and while it may appear
so initially, you can learn to shop for organics for just a bit more
than conventional foods. But the real reason it is not
more expensive is the health benefits outweigh the cost. Pay me now or
pay me later. But the pay me later part is in ill health and
prescription drugs. This can become extremely expensive.
You
can start out slowly to get organics into your diet. There
are certain foods that are more important to buy as organic than
others.
The
other way that you can save money while eating organics is by cutting
out the junk food. Most of a normal western diet
consists of a lot of junk food which is expensive over the long haul
and has no nutritional value. It doesn't matter if you buy conventional
junk food or organic junk food. It is all junk food and not healthy.
Just because it is organic does not mean it is good for you.
A 4 year study was just concluded in Europe and some of the things we
already knew were confirmed as well as some interesting new information
was found. This study showed that organic food is way more nutritious
than its' conventional counterparts. It also helps to improve your
health and longevity. It is obvious that foods grown without pesticides
in healthy soil are going to be good for you.
- The study found that organic fruit and
vegetables contain up to 40% more antioxidants.
- Organic lettuce and other vegetables contain
more zinc and iron.
- Organic milk contains up to 90% more
antioxidants.
There
are some foods that you should buy organic no matter what.
If you can not find these in the organic section than go without until
it is in stock again.
The most important food to eat as organic is meat if you are a meat
eater. It would take pages and pages for me to lay out my evidence of
this.
Suffice it to say, go to Amazon.com and get the book, THE CHINA
STUDY by Dr.Campbell . This is a book my own
medical doctor told us to buy and read.
The
other food that is the most laden with chemicals and are highly toxic
due to the blend of chemicals are Strawberries. If we
don't see organic strawberries we don't buy them. We do go out to a
farm to pick our strawberries and they are not treated with pesticides.
So those are the 2 foods that are the most important to buy as organic.
Here
is a list of foods that you do NOT have to buy organic:
- Mango
- Papaya
- Pineapple
- Avocado
- Sweet Corn (Frozen)
- Bananas
- Kiwi
- Broccoli
- Cabbage
- Eggplant
- Sweet peas ( Frozen)
- Asparagus
- Onion
These
foods were tested to be the safest conventional grown foods. Just
make sure you are not buying GMO varieties. Next month we will talk
about how to find out if you have a GMO food or not.

Organic is the way to go whenever possible. When I started down the organic path it was not as easy to get as it is today. Most mainstream markets carry organic produce and the costs have gone down over the years as more farmers are producing organics.
