organically grown plants ??

[Guest guest]

" " Do you know - are

organically grown plants more nutritious than " commercially grown " ? If

quality can

be determined by appearance, your plants will be the most nutritious

possible. " "

I believe that there is ample evidence to show that if iodine is lacking in

the soil, people get goiter.

 

There is mounting evidence that cancer patients have low levels of selenium

in their body.

 

Both of these minerals are lacking in the soil in some areas of the world.

 

Good farming or organic farming would make sure that these nutrients are

available to their produce.

 

I gardened several years - buying various organic fertilizers, seaweed,

green sand, bone meal, etc. results were spectacular.

 

I have heard that some organic farming standards are defective- so you do

not know what you are getting.

 

Coconuts are strictly organic; As the growers cannot afford synthetic

chemical fertilizer[ On the other hand Pineapple grown in some areas are

treated with iron chemicals or they don't grow. not all chemicals are bad

as fertilizer----------But there are bad ways to grow plants with chemicals.

 

We need a full spectrum analysis of produce that shows it meets a nutrition

standard rather than a blemish free, size and color standard as at present.
