Apakhabar? sihat ke? ari ni kite nk ckp pasal makanan organik pulak. Ok, sbnrnye, sy baca newsletter yg MAKNA hantar. Tau kan ape itu MAKNA? Kalau nak taw, boleh baca kat sini ye.
Dlm newsletter ni, ade share 17 sebab kenape kene pilih organic food. And of course, we r thinking about the price right? Mmg kebiasaannya, sayur2 yang d jual berlabel ORGANIC lebih mahal. Tp, lps baca sbb2 yg sy share ni, mungkin sesetengah dari kita akan fikir mungkin dengan membayar lebih mahal untuk mknan organik ini berbaloi, mungkin juga ada yang fikir nak tanam sdiri sayur2 bg mengurangkan kos.
saya sendiri pon xde lah makan semua yang organic pon. tp article yg sy share ni sgt bgus untuk knowledge kita. mungkin kita bole slowly change our lifestyle. sbb pesakit kanser mmg meningkat saban hari.
ok, jum luangkan masa untuk baca.

17 Essential Reasons To Eat ORGANIC Food :-by Michelle Schoffro Cook
Organic food was the only option for thousands of years.Now, with pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and genetically modified foods, organic is the best option. Here are the reasons.
1) Genetically modified foods were unleashed on the environment and the public by corporations like Monsanto without prior testing to determine their safety. In other words, eating genetically modified food (which most people in large amounts) is participating in a long-term, uncontrolled experiment. Choose organic to avoid participating in this experiment.
2) More and more research is coming in about the health threat of genetically modified food. The results range from intestinal damage, allergies, liver or pancreatic problems, testicular cellular changes, tumors and even death in the experimental animals. For more information, read the excellent books by Jeffrey M. Smith of Deception and Genetic Roullete. I'll discuss more of the problems linked with GMOs in upcoming blogs. Eaating third party certified organic foods or those that are guaranteed to be grown from organic seed helps protect you from the health consequences of GMOs.
3) Fruits and vegetables are real food, not pesticide factories. 18% of all genetically modified seeds (and therefore foods that grow from them) are engineered to produce their own pesticides. Research shows that these seeds continue producing pesticides inside your bdy once you've eaten the food grown from them! Foods that are actually pesticide factories...no thanks.
4) They're free of neurotoxins - toxins that are damaging to brain and nerve cells. A commonly used class of pesticides called organophosphates was originally developed as a toxin nerve agent during world war I. when there was nolonger a need for them in wasfare, industry adapted them to kill pests on foods. many pesticides are still considered neurotoxins.
5) They're supportive of growing children's brains and bodies. Children's growing brains and bodies are far more susceptible to toxins than adults. Choosing organic helps feed their bodies without the exposure to pesticides and genetically-modified organisms, both of which have a relatively short history of use and therefore safety.
6) In study after study, research from independent orgaizations consistently shows organic food is higher nutrients than traditional foods.
7) The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that pesticides pollute the primary drinking source for half the American population. Organic farming is the best solution to the problem. Buying organic helps reduce pollution in our drinking water.
8) Organic food is earth supportive (when big business keep their hands out of it). organic food production has been around for thousands of years and is the sustainable choice for the future. Comapre that to the modern agricultural pesticides that are destructive of the environment through widespread use of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and fertilizers and have resulted in drastic environmental damage in many parts of the world.
9) Organic food choices grown on small-scale organic farms help ensure independent family farmers can create a livelihood. Consider it the domestic version of fair trade.
10) Most organic foods simpy tastes better that the pesticide-grown counterparts.
11) Organic food is not exposed to gass-ripening like some non-organic fruits and vegetables (like bananas).
12) Organic farms are safer for farm wokers. Research at the Harvarrd School of Public Health found a 70% increase in Parkinson's disease among people exposed to pesticides. Choosing organic foods means that more people will be able to work on farms without incurring the higher potential health risk of Parkinson's or othe illnesses.
13) Organic foods support wildlife habitats. Even with commonly used amount of pestiides, wildlife is being harmed by exposure to pesticides.
14) Eating organic may reduce your cancer risk. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers 60% of herbicides, 90% fungicides and 30% of insecticides potentially cancer-causing. It is reasonable to think that the rapidly increasing rates of cancer are at least partly linked to the use of these carcinogenic pesticides.
15) Choosing organic meat lessens your exposure to antibiotics, synthetic hormones, and drugs that find their way into the animal and ultimately into you.
16) Organic food is tried and tested. By some estimates genetically-modified food makes up 80% of the aberage person's food consumption. Genetically modofocation of food is still experimental, Avoid being part of this wide scale and uncontrolled experiment.
17) Organic food supports biodiversity. Diversity is fundamental to life on this planet. Genetically modifed and non-organic food is focused on high yield monoculture and is destroying biodiversity.
Done sharing.
Pesanan saya adalah "eat well, then you will live well". Punca penyakit adalah dr perut. Jaga ape kita makan, insyaAllah kita sihat ;)
