Another reason why today’s common fruits and vegetables are nowhere near the quality of your grandmother’s is the shockingly poor vitamin and mineral content found in today’s conventionally grown produce.
Since the late 1950’s, the nutritional content of America’s conventionally grown fruits and vegetables has declined, often significantly.
Dr. Donald Davis, a biochemist at the University of Texas, noted that the USDA tracked 13 major nutrients in garden crops from 1950 to 1999 and found six with noticeable declines. Of these, a 38 percent drop in riboflavin…a 15 percent drop in iron… and a 20 percent drop in vitamin C stand out.
Nutritionist Alex Jack found even more shocking evidence when he compared USDA food tables from 1963 to those of 2000, as reported in Life Extension. He found…
-50 percent less calcium in broccoli and carrots…
-88 percent less iron in watercress…
-45.09 percent less vitamin C in spinach…
-51.5 percent less potassium in collard greens…
-66 percent less iron in apples, oranges and apricots
SHOCKING!
Why such poor nutritional content in our produce today?
The main culprit is “modern agriculture.” Today, most farmers and big food conglomerates use any means to squeeze as much produce out of an acre of land as they can. Chemical fertilizers. Manipulation of soil and seeds. Genetic engineering. Pesticides. And they’ve violated time-honored holistic farming methods such as crop rotation and natural pest control and fertilization.
So, over time, our soil gets stripped of nutrients, minerals and living organisms. No wonder most fruits and vegetables in America are nutritionally deficient.
As I’ll explain, Nuriche Live addresses this problem head on. How? With a proprietary drying system that locks in the nutritional content of organic and naturally-grown fruits and vegetables without synthetic vitamins, pasteurization and preservatives.
The result? You get a vast spectrum of naturally occurring live whole food-based vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and antioxidants your body needs and deserves.
Still, there’s another reason why you can’t rely on today’s common fruits and vegetables to give you real nutrition like you could in the past.
Some of our most trusted food sources may be “tainted.” Today, our typical food sources, especially fruits and vegetables, are sprayed with synthetic pesticides, herbicides and chemicals on a regular basis.
Just consider these eye-opening facts…
Pesticide use in agriculture and for home and industrial purposes has increased a whopping 50 percent within the past three decades.
-Vegetables such as corn, lettuce and potatoes absorb antibiotics when they’re grown in soil spread with manure containing antibiotics.
-Since WWII, more than 80,000 synthetic chemicals have been created and released into the environment, as many as 1,500 new ones each year! These chemicals, even after they’re banned, can last a long time in the environment. For example, DDT was banned over 30 years ago, but it can still be found in the breast milk of women all over the world. And DDT can make its way back into our food supply through foods imported from countries where this pesticide is still used.
-High levels of nutrient pollution used in farming and ranching activities are found in our lakes and streams. Is it any wonder there are populations of frogs living in these waters with deformities?
Is it any wonder that according to a recent survey, 70 percent of consumers buy organic foods to avoid pesticides?
But as I’ll explain in the next Nuriche blog posting, Nuriche LiVE takes all the worry out of the quality and purity of fruits and vegetables. You get the finest quality organic and naturally grown produce free of pesticides and toxins-in a unique, easy to take, delicious form that you’ll love.
