5 frukter du vill byta till eko Äpple Symbolen för hälsa ska väl ändå vara fräsch på riktigt? Vi tycker det, men i 9 av 10 äpplen hittades rester av bekämpningsmedel. I en del äpplen hittades karbendazim, ett ämne som misstänks vara cancerogent, hormonstörande och reproduktionsstörande. Tyvärr går det inte att skölja bort, eftersom det finns i hela frukten. Päron Den här barnfavoriten innehöll rester av bekämpningsmedel i 7 av 10 tester. Citrus Irriterad på att ekologisk citrus kan mögla om den ligger framme för länge? Nästan alla citrusfrukter - 95 procent - innehöll rester av olika bekämpningsmedel. Vindruvor De söta små druvorna är bäst på att vara värst när det gäller flest sorters rester i samma prov. Banan Fortsätt nobba fulbananerna! De flesta tropiska frukter, som ananas och mango, kommer från lika hårt besprutade plantager. Brukar ekologiskt innehålla rester? Svenskt är väl bättre? Proverna ligger ju ändå oftast under gränsvärdena? Varför är barnen känsligast? Ska jag vara rädd för att äta oekologisk frukt?

Possible negative impacts of GMOs on health and skin: How to avoid GMOs in skincare products (NaturalNews) Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are plants and other living organisms derived from modern molecular biotechnology techniques that alter the genetics of the organism. A large portion of the food supply in America is now produced with this technology. So far, GMO companies have been able to create lots of confusion about GM crops and their side effects on health and the environment. But there are known health risks associated with GMOs in our food supply based on independent research. In terms of skin health, it is believed that the mysterious Morgellons disease may have something to do with the ingestion of GMO foods. Other skin complaints have been reported. Many in the medical community question whether Morgellons is an infectious disease or a psychiatric disorder in which a person thinks parasites have infected their skin. Better safe than sorry...

3 äckliga ämnen i din middag 1. Karbendazim Hittas i äpplen, persikor, tomater, jordgubbar, spannmål, sockerbetor, raps, majs, sallad, gurkor, mandariner, apelsiner, päron, spenat… listan kan bli längre men vi vill inte trötta ut dig. Karbendazim är cancerframkallande, hormonstörande och reproduktionsstörande. Det här omysiga ämnet kan inte sköljas bort, utan verkar inifrån växten för att mota bort svampangrepp. 2. Hittas i spannmål som havre och råg, men också i vindruvor och päron. Klormekvat är spännande eftersom det visar det ologiska i o-ekologiskt, så häng med nu! Ska vi skratta eller gråta?

Ger du upp nu? Blir du ledsen? Och du. Vill du veta mer?

Unlabeled GMO Potatoes Have Landed on Store Shelves; 6 Steps to Avoid Them By Nick Meyer Who really wants the new genetically modified potato in their shopping cart, anyway? Certainly not the consumers, who have been flocking away from Monsanto and other companies’ GMOs like the plague, buying organic food at a clip not seen years. And it’s certainly not the potato farmers, either: the National Potato Council itself even admitted that the new GMO potatoes from the company J.R. Simplot could cause financial losses in the billions for American farmers. “(There is) concern about the potential for GMO technology to disrupt potato exports valued at more than $1.6 billion,” Potato Council CEO John Keeling admitted in July 2014. But now, the genetically modified spuds that no one wanted have been found on store shelves, unlabeled and dangerously untested.
