  • NO additives
  • NO synthetic chemicals either in the soil or sprayed on the plant
  • NO preservatives
  • NO toxic chemicals such as organophosphates, DDT and PCB's that have been implicated in weight gain in humans as well as food animals such as cattle, sheep and pigs
  • NO heavy metal residues (such as aluminum, cadmium, lead and mercury)
  • NO antibiotics that can cause allergic reactions or intolerance
  • NO hormones that can play havoc with our own immune and metabolic systems
  • and organic foods are not allowed to be genetically modified

  • Higher percentage of nutrients (allowing you to need to eat less overall)
  • Higher percentage of natural vitamins such as C, beta carotene and B
  • Higher percentage of minerals in their natural, easily-assimilated form (such as chromium, selenium, calcium, boron, lithium, and magnesium) needed for optimal health
