the jury is still out. ....

A woman on a u tube ( Living on a dime ) interviewed a medical doctor that had worked for the EPA and was very knowledgable about nutrition,

Some high points that I found more than interesting,  

  1. There is absolutely no nutritional difference between organic and regular grown food. 
  2. Organic food is grown in POOP. 
  3. There is a 7 times more chance that your food is contaminated if it is organic with anything like listeria or ecoli.   
  4. Non-pasteurized milk  is not healthy 
  5. There is no scientific proof that GMO is bad.   That being said, he said that he would avoid it until more evidence is in .   
  6. NO ONE  SHOULD  EVER BE ON A VEGAN DIET.    BUT, IF YOU CHOOSE  TO BE VEGAN , BE SURE TO TAKE SUPPLEMENTS TO REPLENTISH  THE VITAMINS YOU ARE NOT GETTING  IN YOUR DIET.  
  7. IF  YOU ARE OVERWEIGHT OR DIABETIC, SKIP THE CRAZY DIETS.   JUST LOWER YOUR CONSUMPTION AND CUT OUT THE SUGAR.   AND, HONEY IS THE SAME TO YOUR BODY  AS SUGAR.   
  8. There has been a increase of cancer in doctors and nurses.    They figure it is from  the nasty chemicals that they have to use to kill the antibiotic resistant germs in the hospitals.   
  9. Buy your produce from local farmers.    Grow it yourself if possible.    
  10. Organic growers can not produce enough food to sustain all of us.    Pests can wipe out  an entire crop.   
  11. Organic foods do have pesticides sprayed on them.  they are safer and weaker, amd so the farmers have to spray seven times.   The regular farmers spray two times, but with stronger   pesticides.    

Do your own research.    Believe accredited people that have studied what they are talking about,   
The bottom line for me is I grew up with regular food, and canned food.   My parents died from things other than getting cancer from what they ate.  We never were allowed to eat the house , so to speak,   None of us was obese.  

I, personally, do not think that organic at four times the price of regular food is warranted.  The nutrition  is the same and the cleanliness vs pesticides is a crapshoot.
