It says: "we are what we eat" and as many aphorisms often condense some truth it seems at first glance to be full of common sense. But it would be good to argue this high and, especially, to deepen it. We can go on this health and good life. First reason: agriculture pesticide poisons ended up taking our table.
For one thing, by ecological (or organic or biological) understand about food products that contain poisons, even these types of poisons and these "allowable" amounts that health authorities have approved, and that conventional agriculture supplied to the plants and agribusiness uses in its processes, presentation and packaging. The affair of the poisons in the field and in the industry is awesome (still talking about the officially approved), here are some details: - For half a century ago have been released into the environment 100,000 synthetic molecules, potentially toxic substances that invade our dishes. - According to the current director of the IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer WHO), in 2010, answering a journalist, says that "of the 100,000 manitoba snow cone products you mentioned, only one has been tested since 3000 the point of view of its carcinogenic potential. "- (And if carcinogenic causing this? declaring its prohibition?) - Not at all. As for pesticides we evaluated only thirty of them in history. manitoba snow cone " - Cancer is increasing every year. In Europe, the incidence rate of childhood cancer increased from 1% to 3% annually during the past three decades, and that has to do with the consumption of snuff, or the increase in life expectancy or with early detection. Also, the French toxicologist says André Cicolella "between a woman born in 1953 and one born in 1913, the risk of breast cancer has tripled and lung cancer has increased fivefold. In men, in the same periods, the risk of prostate cancer has increased by twelve and the lung has been the same. " - In 2010, an investigation conducted by a French association that did analyze the daily diet of a child of ten years, which included three meals according to official recommendations, appeared on the show "one hundred twenty eight residues, eighty-one chemicals Forty-two of which are classified as possible or probable manitoba snow cone carcinogens and five substances manitoba snow cone that are classified as safe cancer and thirty seven substance capable of endocrine disrupting ... "- WHO warned us in 1990 that every year 220,000 people in the world as a result of acute pesticide poisoning, between one and two million unintentional poisonings during spraying thereof and two million manitoba snow cone attempted suicides. Also, half a billion, manitoba snow cone mainly farmers or farm laborers are victims of "less serious" illness. - Following this track, we find that each year apply to crops 2.5 million tons of pesticides (1997 data) and only between 0.1% and 0.3% contact manitoba snow cone with undesirable organisms, the rest migrates to the environment and pollute the soil, air and water ecosystem, where concern for public health. This is not neutral (1). In short, apply poisons in our fields profusely and end up in our bodies via food, water or air with enormous consequences for our health and good life. Second reason: organic farming provide more nutrients than conventional (with pesticides and chemical fertilizers) for the same products. The Kings College, University of London manitoba snow cone began to measure manitoba snow cone the nutritional content of foods since 1927, analyzes were repeated regularly and give us an alarming picture. Table: Reduction in the average mineral content of fruits and vegetables, in R. Kingdom, between 1940 and 1991, in percent Mineral Fruits Vegetables Sodium Potassium -49 -29 -16 -19 -24 -16 Calcium Magnesium -46 - Iron 16 -27 -24 -76 -20 Zinc Copper -59 -27 As from 1940 began to mostly apply the industrial agricultural model ("green revolution"), we can say that this way grow with poisons manitoba snow cone and forcing production has gone to impair the nutritional value of foods Moreover jobs Raigón Maria Dolores (2) show the following comparative view of organic food and conventionally produced (with the proposals of the "green revolution"): For nitrate content, achieved a balanced organic fertilizer vegetable crops with lower concentration than chemical fertilization
