In TIME magazine the other day, there was an article called
“What’s the Healthiest Breakfast?” and they asked 7 experts for
their responses. Only 2 of the 7 respondents, comprised of
nutritionists, registered dieticians and one trainer, mentioned
organic. While everyone has a varying opinion about what
comprises a healthy breakfast, I believe that if a breakfast is
not organic, it isn’t that healthy. Why? When you’re eating
conventionally-grown food/dairy products and you buy them at the
market, you have no idea if they have been sprayed with toxic
chemicals, contain genetically-modified ingredients (GMOs), or
come from animals who have been fed synthetic growth hormones.
Approximately 80% of the food on the supermarket shelves
contains GMOs. What you may not know is that: - Studies of
animals who were fed a strictly GMO-diet suffered from serious
kidney and liver damage. - The link between GMOs and fertility
problems is a very strong one. - A study in the journal
Pediatrics associates exposure to pesticides
