Monsanto GM Crops now considered for use by Whole Foods

I am appalled at the recent news that companies like Whole Foods have sold out to Monsanto on the approval of using GM crops in their products. I wonder how much they and other retailers we paid to allow such a travesty?

You can’t rely on rice, beans and freeze dried foods for emergency food storage

We live in a culture filled with disasters, both natural and man made. It is wise to have an emergency food supply to sustain your family for at least 90 days.

There are many companies taking advantage of not only prudent survival steps but also the fears many people have of a coming global apocalypse.

It is good to have buckets of beans and rice along with seeds and a good water supply. But there are companies selling freeze dried meals AS IF these e foods are the Savior of any future catastrophic event. They are also going as far as to proclaim these same families should eat this food on a daily basis.

I have two issues. The amount of sodium in these pre-packaged freeze dried meals and the very fact they are freeze dried.

You do know you are not supposed to overcook your veggies because you will kill the enzymes? In fact the kill point is 117 degrees Fahrenheit after the minutes.

Freeze drying is a heat process. The product may start out as frozen, but it is then placed in a vacuum chamber for three days and hit with an average temp of 135 degrees to get the water particles to change from ice to a vapor.

Let’s see…117 for three minutes kills enzymesand freeze drying is 135 for three days. Do the math.

In any emergency food storage plan, you must find a way of being able to supply your body with nutrients from live whole foods or you will get scurvy or become unhealthy from malnutrition.

I have found Nuriche Live to be the best source of fruits and veggies for emergency food storage. The powder was created under the enzymatic kill point and has a 2 year shelf life.

I am sure this all makes sense, but if you choose to stock the ready to eat, freeze dried, enzymatically dead an SODIUM rich meals, please also make sure you are within close proximity of a heart surgeon.

Antioxidants are Critical for Defusing Free Radicals

You know antioxidants are critical for defusing free radicals.

But did you know the human body needs 5,000 ORAC units of antioxidants per day? ORAC stands for “Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity”…the method of measuring overall antioxidant activity of a food or product.

The problem is, most Americans only get approx. 1,200 ORAC untis of antioxidants per day-far short of what the body needs.

The goods news is, a serving of The Feast provides an ORAC value of 1,990 units. Two servings give you over 3,900 ORAC units!

Why such an antioxidant boost? Because one of the best natural sources of antioxidants is fruits and berries.

For example, the Acai berry has a remarkable ORAC value of 550 per 10 grams…blueberries have a score of 240… and apples have a score of 22. And these are just part of the antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables found in Nuriche Live.

The higher the ORAC value, the more antioxidants power-and that’s why you should drink Nuriche Live every day!

Be carefull of one year old apples being sold as fresh

Lets go back just over a year and start with with a photograph I took with my phone at a local Albertson’s Supermarket…

…it was the first week of September 2010. The sign underneath the box of Apples states, “Fresh” right above the “Red Delicious Apples”. They are on sale. Yay! But things were not as they appeared…

We all know produce is usually picked before it is enzymatically mature to ensure firmness during its travel from the farm to the supermarket. So when I ask an audience how long ago they felt the apples had been picked, the average person would state three weeks.

So I am looking at these “Fresh” apples and was a bit confused because growing up in Washington State, I picked apples in the fall a couple of seasons. So on a hunch, I took one of the little stickers home that was on the apple, contacted the Washington State Department of Ag and found out these apples had been picked 13 MONTHS earlier, in October of 2009. Yes,13 months and yet the store calls them fresh.

So, the apples are picked, washed, waxed and put in cold storage at a temp just above freezing. Then Co2 is pumped into the cold storage facilities to keep the apples from oxygenating. Then over the year as demand continues for apples, the supermarkets can sell seasonal produce year round.

I have two points:

1) It’s that time of year and last year’s apples are about to go on sale. So be careful of buying apples that are going on sale prior to, or at the beginning of the picking season.

2) There are better methods of delivery of fruit and veggies into our bodies with the Nuriche Instafresh process.

 

Benefits of Nuriche Products Live Revive and LiveTRIM

As you’ll quickly see, one of the greatest benefits of Nuriche Live is how convenient it is to use.

In fact, it gives you REAL whole food-based nutrition-in just seconds a day. Guaranteed!

How is this possible? Because with Nuriche Live

You’ll save precious time. Most people know they should eat more fruits and vegetables-but who has the time to shop for fresh produce, prepare it and eat it-not to mention clean up and store it?

Eating 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables each day takes time, and most people are just too busy.

If you’re like most folks I know, you have a busy, often hectic life-and there are many other things you’d rather be doing than making sure you have enough fruits and vegetables to eat. If that’s you, then you’re going to love the time saving convenience of Nuriche Live.

There’s no easier or faster way to get REAL whole food-based nutritional than from Nuriche Live.

Just take out the “Nuriche Shaker Cup”… open a ready-to-go packet of Nuriche Live or scoop it out of the container…mix with water (or juice) in our Nuriche Shaker Cup… shake and drink. This simple process takes just seconds a day!

Nuriche Live is so convenient, it’s great for taking to work, taking on vacation or on a business trip or just for a quick, great tasting, nutritious pick-me-up.

But that’s not all. You’ll love Nuriche LiveTRIM because…You’ll save effort, too.

Picture yourself getting instant, great-tasting benefits of fresh, organic and naturally grown, nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables, greens,  berries, seeds, nuts and sprouts with…

-No shopping

-No cleaning

-No peeling

-No chopping

-No cooking

-No juicing

-No storing

-No clean up

-No wasting

All the hard work has been done for you by our Team at Nuriche.

All you have to do is enjoy the great taste of Nuriche Live each day and its many nutritional benefits!

Yet there’s even more. With Nuriche Live…You’ll save a boatload of money.

As I mentioned earlier, top-quality fruits and vegetables are expensive. Take for example these recent prices from December 2010 the leading seller of certified organic produce in America…

-Organic red tomatoes on the vine…$3.99 a pound

-Organic D’Anjou pears…$2.49 a pound

-Organic green beans…$4.99 a pound

-Organic bunched spinach…$1.99 a pound

-Organic green seedless grapes…$4.99 a pound

-Organic sweet potatoes…$1.99 a pound

And many of the ingredients in Nuriche Live are significantly higher cost per pound such as blackberries, blueberries, raspberries and acai. As high as $7.99 per pound.

How does organic produce compare in price to conventionally grown produce?

At this store, conventionally grown iceberg lettuce was $1.99 a head. Organically grown iceberg lettuce was $2.49 a head. Organic produce is generally 30 percent or MORE expensive.

What’s more, it takes fourteen to fifteen pounds of produce to create one 300 gram canister of Nuriche Live (that’s a 30 serving supply-10grams per serving).

Now imagine how much you’d have to spend each month to have enough of these fruits and vegetables on hand to get what you’ll discover in one canister of Nuriche Live.

Picture how much you have to spend to match Live’s 30 antioxidant-rich fruits and berries…30 powerful greens and vegetables, not to mention 11 nutrient-dense seeds, nuts and sprouts…83+ active enzymes and full spectrum fulvic mineral blend…and 22 resilient living probiotics-if you can even find them.

Then, think about how expensive it would be to pay somebody to clean all the produce, peel it, prepare it, cook it or juice it for you. That could easily add up to hundreds of dollars a month!

The goods news is, you can enjoy Nuriche Live for a fraction of that cost, a lot less than you’d ever imagine got the quality, quantity, variety, integrity and value of live whole food-based nutrition-all in one delicious drink.

In fact, if Nuriche Live was sold through normal distribution in health food stores, it would sell for approx. 30-40 percent more. But because we control the cost of the drying, filling and labeling of Nuriche Live, we can deliver a superior product at a lower price.

 

Natural vs Synthetic Vitamins

Your body was designed to get vitamins, mineral, antioxidants and thousands of naturally occurring phytonutrients from live, whole foods, not from isolated synthetic vitamins, inorganic minerals, processed food or junk food.

The problem is, most people don’t eat right so they try to make up for the lack of good nutrients by taking synthetic vitamins.

But relying on synthetic vitamins for real nutrition is like trying to use diesel fuel for a regular car. It’s not built to work that way.

Synthetic vitamins are not recognized by your body the same way natural occurring vitamins in whole foods are.

For example, synthetic vitamins are made from substances unnatural to your body, such as petroleum, coal, tar, acetone, formaldehyde and ammonia.

What’s more, the minerals in many vitamin supplements are “inorganic”- basically crushed up rocks. But your body was designed to get minerals from “organic” sources such as plants and live whole foods.

It’s a fact: Your body does NOT recognize the actual chemical make-up of isolated synthetic vitamins or inorganic minerals in the same way it recognizes the natural nutrients found in fresh, live whole foods.

So if you’re depending on synthetic vitamins for nutrition, you’ll likely be disappointed.

Why are live, whole foods a better source of vitamins that synthetic supplements?

Let me answer this important question by telling you what researchers at Cornell University discovered when they compared the antioxidant value of an apple with a vitamin C supplement.

The apple contained vitamin C but it also contained many healthy, naturally-occurring substances, including antioxidants such as flavanoids and polyphenols to name a few.

Remarkably, eating a small apple gave an antioxidant effect equivalent to 1,500 mg of vitamin C. In other words, you’d have to take a mega dose of vitamin C to get the same antioxidant effect of eating one small apple.

Sarah Schenker, a dietician and spokesperson for the British Nutrition Foundation said it best: “Although some groups of populations do require vitamins and supplements, a healthy diet is the best way to obtain the vitamins we need.”

She adds: “These foods contain far more than the classic vitamins and minerals we know about…they contain many other plant substances, known as phytochemicals, which can’t be put in a bottle or made into a pill.

The point is, live whole foods-like those found in Nuriche-contain vitamins and a matrix of other beneficial substances that work with each other to give you more nutrition than synthetic vitamins.

Foods better than a vitamin pill? You bet! How about greater antioxidant protection? In another study reported by Nature.com, new research suggests you can get greater antioxidant protection from oranges than you can from a vitamin C supplement.

As you may know, fruits rich in powerful antioxidants can nutritionally support cellular DNA.

In this study, subjects were given a glass of orange juice…an equal amount of vitamin C-fortified water…or sugar water containing no vitamin C.

As expected, blood plasma levels of vitamin C rose in those subjects drinking the orange juice and vitamin C-fortified water.

But when their blood samples were exposed to hydrogen peroxide, those who drank the orange juice had significantly greater protection. Those who drank the orange juice had more antioxidant protection!

In addition, The British Medical Journal compared the nutritional value of folic acid in vegetables vs. the kind found in supplements.

The results? They reported that this folic acid is best obtained through fresh, organic whole vegetables. What’s more, they also report that the form of folic acid found in supplements and fortified foods is pteroylmonglutamate (PGA)-a form that does NOT occur in nature. The study warns that no one knows the consequence of taking high doses of this cheap synthetic form of folic acid.

Solid findings, right? Now imagine…getting thousands of naturally-occuring compounds of live, whole foods in Nuriche Live and Revive each day.

It’s a fact that the most nutritionally dense foods are fruits, berries, greens, vegetables, nuts, seeds and sprouts.

By eating these foods, you’ll experience a variety of nutritional benefits that go beyond basic nutrition.

But now imagine getting more than 70-plus fresh, organic and naturally grown whole foods, together, in the best form: bioavailable and easily absorbed by your body.

You won’t just get single isolated nutrients found in so many supplements-every scoop (or packet) of The Feast gives you thousands of naturally occurring nutritional compounds from fresh whole food concentrates.

Nuriche Live provides a vast array of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes, minerals, probiotics and more-all working together synergistically to give you REAL whole food-based nutrition.

Imagine all these live, freshly harvested whole foods specially processed to give you everything you need for optimum assimilation and maximum effectiveness. All in a delicious, great tasting, easy to prepare drink with the quantity, quality, variety, integrity and value of whole food-based nutrition you’ll love!

This is what you’ll experience only with Nuriche LiveTRIM. And now you know why I say Nuriche Live is the next best thing to you getting 5-9 servings of organic and naturally grown fruits and vegetables every day.

But the news is even better, as you’re about to see…

Dangerous ingredients secretly lurking in our foods

Dangerous ingredients secretly lurking in our foods. Here are examples of what is in many of our foods today-unknown and unseen by the general public…

Hormones, steroids, antibiotics found in animal products-Research shows these compounds can be absorbed by fruits and vegetables grown in soil treated with manure from animals fed antibiotics.

Toxins and pollutants from contaminated soil and water-These can stay in our environment years after they’ve been banned, such as DDT.

Pesticides, fertilizers and fumigants-These are unnatural compounds.

MSG (Monosodium Glutamate)-MSG is a neurotoxic flavor enhancer that’s hidden in many foods.

Partially hydrogenated oil-Gives baked goods and snacks longer shelf life but contains high levels of trans fat.

High fructose corn syrup-With a high glycemic index, it converts to fat more than any other sugar. Usually made with genetically modified corn and genetically modified enzymes.

Genes from bacteria, viruses, plants, animals and even humans inserted into plants like soybeans, corn, canola and cotton-Unlike traditional breeding, genetic engineering can create life forms that would normally never exist in nature.

Artificial colors and flavorings-Artificial colors are chemical compounds made mainly from coal-tar; artificial flavors are cheaply produced chemical mixtures that mimic natural flavors.

Artificial sweeteners-Despite claims that these are “safe” food additives, remember they are not natural. For example, aspartame is made up of three chemicals.

Benzoate preservatives-These are phenolic compounds often added to food to preserve fats and prevent fats from becoming rancid; these preservatives produce low levels of hormones.

The result? Food that’s been denatured, stripped of much of its nutritional value and integrity-and food that could potentially cause health issues.

But with Nuriche products, you get REAL nutrition. Pure, concentrated, unadulterated, whole live food-based nutrition.

The Secret to Nuriche Live

Nuriche Live

Nuriche Live

Now, you can get the quality, quantity, variety, integrity and value of delicious organic and naturally-grown fruits and vegetables from the purest sources possible-all without chopping, peeling, cooking or juicing or relying on yucky “green” drinks or fistfuls of pills.

The secret to Nuriche Live is our proprietary InstaFresh Low-Temperature Drying Process, which:

  1. Takes newly harvested organic and naturally grown fruits, vegetables, greens, berries, nuts, seeds, and sprouts…
  2. Makes them into whole food purees and freshly-pressed 34 degrees Fahrenheit liquid juice…
  3. Turns that juice into a concentrated powder within seconds with temperatures that average 85 degrees Fahrenheit and never exceed 106 degree Fahrenheit (heat over 117 degrees kills most nutrients and enzymes)
  4. All in a timely manner to ensure REAL whole food-based nutrition

The result? A unique, concentrated whole food-based InstaFresh juice powder that locks in the nutritional value of these fresh, delicious fruits, vegetables and whole foods.

Simply mix this powder with water (or juice) in our unique URI Shaker Cup and drink it, and you have Nuriche Live: The most beneficial, nutrient-dense and delicious form of nutrition I’ve ever experienced.

In fact, every serving of Nuriche Live is made from almost a half pound of the finest fruits, vegetables, berries, nuts, seeds and sprouts you can find anywhere.

Why do you get REAL whole food-based nutrition with Nuriche Live? It all starts with the quality ingredients.

The first reason why Nuriche Live gives you REAL whole food-based nutrition compared to conventionally grown fruits or vegetables is the superior quality of its ingredients.

Nuriche Live provides you with a unique “certified organic” or naturally grown blend of fruits, vegetables, greens, berries, seeds, nuts and sprouts that are all free of chemical pesticides and other hazardous and toxic products.

Why is this important?

Because organic foods are more nutritious than conventional foods. In the biggest and most extensive scientific study done to date on organic foods, it was shown that organic potatoes, tomatoes, wheat, cabbage, onions and lettuce had between 20-40 percent more nutrients than non-organic foods.

The Journal of Alternative and Complimentary Medicine reports that organic crops contain significantly more iron, vitamin C, magnesium and phosphorus and significantly less nitrates (a toxin) than conventional crops.

In addition, www.organicconsumers.org reveals that organic foods have higher nutritional levels of health-promoting antioxidants to keep you healthy.

The bottom line: The more organic fruits and vegetables you eat, the more nutrition you get. REAL whole food-based nutrition.

Why conventionally grown fruits and vegetables (and other so-called “healthy” foods) are not what you think

You’ll read all about LiVE by Nuriche in this Blog , but first, let me reveal the shocking story of why conventionally grown fruits and vegetables (and other so-called “healthy” foods) are not what you think…

After more than 30 years of “hands-on” organic farming and continuous nutritional research, let me explain why “This is not your grandmother’s tomato!”

You’ve heard “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”…but not today’s apple. Today’s apple is not your grandmother’s apple. Neither is a tomato, not lettuce, or carrot-you name it.

And in many cases, even what’s advertised as a “natural” food may not really be what you think it is.

That’s because you’re being sold a bill of goods by the big food manufactures when it comes to conventionally grown fruits, vegetables and other so-called “healthy” foods today.

Why have so many of our food sources been altered? Why are our foods no longer delivering the kind of nutrition they’ve provided us in the past? And what are the potential risks from these foods?

Here are the startling answers, starting with these facts:

Did you know that over 70 percent of processed foods in U.S. grocery stores contain genetically modified ingredients? And more than half of the corn grown in the U.S. is genetically engineered?

This means foods are being altered by scientists in ways our forefathers never imagined.

Just consider these shocking examples… Many prematurely picked tomatoes are artificially ripened with hormones: Take a tomato. The longer it stays on the vine, the higher its sugar level, better its taste and higher its nutrient content. Just think about how good a home-grown tomato tastes. Yum!

But out-of-season produce in the U.S. is often shipped up to 2,500 miles before being sold-so you can’t pick a fully ripened tomato and expect to sell it cross country.

This is why many farmers in Florida, California and Mexico pick tomatoes at “mature green” state and artificially ripen them with ethylene. Ethylene is a hormone derived from petroleum and natural gas. The problem is, these tomatoes are deprived of optimum nutrient content.

Apples are treated with radioactive gamma rays to appear fresher: Today, some conventionally grown apples are treated with radioactive gamma rays (yes, low levels of radiation) to extend shelf life and make them appear fresher that they really are.

This process, called “irradiation,” hides poor quality growing practices, allows for long-distance transportation and causes apples to lose nutrients through extended times between picking and consumption.

In fact, irradiation destroys up to 80 percent of an apple’s essential vitamins A, B2, B3, B6, C, E and K, as well as thiamin, folic acid and even essential fatty acids and amino acids.

Crops are “genetically modified” (GM) to grow better: To create more drought- and pest-resistant crops, engineers insert bacteria, viruses, plant or animal cells and even human genes into seeds…but at what risk?

For examples, GM crops are designed to withstand herbicides…so farmers growing GM soybeans are using two to five times more herbicides than growers of natural varieties.

GM crops easily pollinate with related weeds, creating “super weeds” that are resistant to top-selling herbicides…forcing farmers to use more toxic herbicides.

Shockingly, U.S. food manufacturers are not required to put “genetically modified” on any food labels! This leaves us in the dark. In fact, according to the International Food Information Council, 62 percent of Americans surveyed said they knew “a little or nothing at all” about genetic engineering of foods.

But as you’ll see in a moment, Live by Nuriche gives you REAL whole food-based nutrition from organic and naturally grown fruits, berries, greens, vegetables, seeds, nuts and sprouts, just as Nature intended- free of the dangers of biotech engineering and genetic modification.
