Rutgers University Study Comparing Organic vs. Commercially Grown Foods

It's no wonder our population is nutritionally deficient. We wouldn't think about putting poor quality fuel in our autos because they would sputter and cough; eventually we'd need a tow truck.

But that's essentially what you're doing if you buy commercial food. What's commercial food you ask? Your typical middle class grocery store.

The average person's state of health is much like a car sputtering and missing a few beats.

If you're buying your food from commercial sources, such as a grocery store, take a look at the difference in the quality of this food versus organic food. Yes, you can starve your body with "empty" or bad food. It's a fact!

How can you better the situation? Buy organic whole foods; buy organic or grassfed meat. Read all you can and empower yourself with knowledge.
