The Truth About Organic Food




Should you really buy organic? We’ve cooked up some answers for you, so dig in.


Before you b-line it to the organic section in your supermarket, know this: Buying organic isn’t always best. Well, that’s definitely true for your bank account. But what we mean is that even though it seems like the obvious choice, it’s not so clear cut. While some organic foods are good for you, not all pull rank over the less expensive, conventional kinds. Here Eat This, Not That! gets to the bottom of this controversial issue by answering four important questions about organic food and whether you should BUY or SAVE your $.

Is organic food worth the extra green?


BUY Yes, but it’s complicated. As anyone who’s shopped at Whole Foods (unofficially aka, “Whole Paycheck”) will tell you, going organic can feel like going broke. It can cost 10 to 40 percent more for these pure products than their original counterparts, according to a study published in the Journal of Food Science. But dropping cash has its perks: Healthy, safe, delicious food without a side of harmful pesticides, fertilizers, hormones, and antibiotics. Yes, please. However, this applies to some organic foods more than others. Here are a few that are worth the extra coin.


Produce Unlike foods with built-in armor (bananas, pineapples), fruits and veggies with thin skins mean you can’t just you pull-n-peel off the pesticide-laden layer. The damage, at that point, is more than skin deep. Avoid self-contamination and BUY the following organic: apples, peaches, strawberries, pears, grapes and oranges, bell peppers, celery and potatoes.


Dairy
Happy cows? Not non-organic dairy heifers. Once pregnant, they’re treated with growth hormones that make them unnaturally produce milk in bulk. The process is so sickening to the animal (literally) that they’re injected with unhealthy doses of antibiotics. All of these treatments get transferred to her moo juice, and, ultimately, humans’ mouths. Bottom line: Don’t go there. BUY organic milk, like Organic Valley’s Lowfat Milk.


Meat
Same goes for poultry and other meats. If you don’t want to add hormones and antibiotics to your diet, BUY organic.


Fish
Seafood doesn’t currently have any official USDA-approved organic standards. So even the ones labeled “organic” can still contain mercury and PCBs. SAVE $ and get the regular kind (for now).

Are organic packaged foods healthy?


SAVE $ Doubtful. As tasty as Paul Newman-O’s are, a cookie is a cookie, no matter how you package it. To the 23 percent of people who bought organic cookies last year, we’re sorry to say you might as well have eaten a regular Oreo. These organic cookies are still heavily processed and filled with fat and sugar, which your body metabolizes the same way it does the original kinds. In other words, eat enough of these, you will gain weight. Cookies aside, some clever companies use the “organic” label as a marketing smoke screen, only to load up yogurt or crackers with a unhealthy amounts of organic high-fructose corn syrup (yes, the FDA actually approved this).

Is organic better for Ma Nature?


BUY Definitely. Supporting your local Farmer’s Market is good for both your plate and the planet. Organic farmers are working hard to minimize pollution and promote biodiversity using sustainable methods approved by the National Organic Standards Board. This goes beyond cutting out pesticides and fertilizers that can be harmful to people and animals. The goal is to actually improve the soil. They’re using manure and crop rotations to fertilize; grazing animals on mixed forage pastures; utilizing renewable resources; and conserving soil and water. Besides, spending your Saturday morning meeting people who are passionate about their products beats arguing with the pimple-faced produce guy who doesn’t know the difference between yams and sweet potatoes (bet the farmer does!).

Is organic tastier?


SAVE $ Jury is still out on this one. While most chefs and organic enthusiasts would undoubtedly argue this is true, there is little research to back this up. Part of the problem is the vast array in quality within the organic subset. Your best bet is to find a store or a local farmer who sells consistently delicious products and stick to ‘em.

The Worst Packaged Food Lies




Learn the truth behind food labels and never be fooled by misleading marketing again.

By Dave Zinczenko and Matt Goulding, Men's Health


If you want some insight into the food industry, take a stroll through your grocery store’s candy aisle. There, on the labels of such products as Mike and Ike and Good & Plenty, you’ll find what perhaps is a surprising claim: “Fat free.” However, it’s completely true—these empty-calorie junk foods are almost 100 percent sugar and processed carbs.

You see, food manufacturers think you’re stupid. In fact, their marketing strategies rely on it. For instance, it may be that the aforementioned candy makers are hoping you’ll equate “fat free” with “healthy” or “non-fattening”—so that you forget about all the sugar these products contain. It’s a classic bait-and-switch.

The Organic Junk Food

Kraft Original Macaroni & Cheese

The claim: "USDA organic"

The truth: It’s organic, so it must be healthy, right? Not so much. For an extra 60 cents per box, consumers save 20 calories and 1 gram of fat. They also gain 2 grams of sugar, 1 gram of fiber, and 50 milligrams of sodium, and they lose 6 percent of their daily iron. The point is, even organic junk food is still junk food. Your body processes organic refined flour and powdered cheese the same way it does the conventional kind, so at the end of the day it’s still a high-calorie, low-nutrient letdown.

What you really want: If you must have mac, pick one with a label that reads like the recipe you’d use to fix it at home. Annie’s line of macaroni and cheese contains about 8 ingredients per box and cuts the fat by 72 percent over Kraft Organic. And to learn more about whether you should splurge or save when it comes to organic, check out " The Truth About Organic Food". In this economy, it’s important to know that you’re spending your money wisely. Sometimes, like in the case of this Organic Kraft Mac & Cheese, choosing the organic route may not always be the best use of your hard-earned cash.

The Fat Fake-Out

Smucker’s Reduced Fat Creamy Peanut Butter

The claim: “25 percent less fat than regular natural peanut butter”

The truth: Smucker’s has indeed removed some of the fat from the peanut butter, but they’ve replaced it with maltodextrin, a carbohydrate used as a cheap filler in many processed foods. This means you’re trading the healthy fat from peanuts for empty carbs, double the sugar, and a savings of a meager 10 calories.

What you really want: The real stuff: no oils, fillers, or added sugars. Just peanuts and salt. Smucker’s Natural fits the bill, as do many other peanut butters out there.

The Hidden Trans-Fats

Cheetos Crunchy

The claim: “Zero gram trans fats”

The truth: FDA allows manufacturers to make this claim when their products contain less than 0.5 gram of trans fats per serving. It may seem insignificant, but 0.49 gram of this nefarious fat can add up quickly.

The Unnatural Fruit

Nutri-Grain Strawberry Cereal Bar

The claim: “Naturally and artificially flavored”

The truth: While the FDA requires manufacturers to disclose the use of artificial flavoring on the front of the box, the requirements for what is considered “natural” and “real” are not strict: Even trace amounts of the essence or extract of fruit counts as natural. So yes, there is fruit in this bar, but it falls third in the ingredients list, behind HFCS and corn syrup.

What you really want: An honest snack with nothing to hide. Lärabars, one of our favorite snacks in the aisle, are made with nothing more than dried fruit and nuts.

The "Health" Food That Isn't

Healthy Choice Sweet & Sour Chicken

The claim: “Healthy Choice”

The truth: A company can call itself whatever it wants, but that doesn’t give credence to the name. Healthy Choice even provides a handful of nutritional stats—430 calories, 9 grams fat, 600 milligrams sodium—to back up the name, but they neglect to mention the 29 grams of added sugars used in this dish. The 6 different sweeteners in the ingredient list combine to give this less-than-healthy choice almost the same amount of sugar as a Snickers bar. Many Healthy Choice selections are reliably nutritious; this is not one of them.

What you really want: Dinner that doesn’t taste like a bowl of ice cream. While fat and calories are important considerations in everything you eat, be sure to read the fine print. Companies with healthy label claims often pull the bait-and-switch, going low in fat but then elevating the sugar or sodium to up the flavor quotient.

The Vitamin Vacuum

Kelloggs Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pop-Tarts

The claim: “Good source of 7 vitamins and minerals”

The truth: Five of the 7 vitamins and minerals are derived from this product’s first ingredient—enriched flour. That’s the code word for “refined flour that’s had nutrients added to it after it’s been stripped of fiber.”

What you really want: A breakfast without the nutritional profile of a dessert. Studies show that people who opt for high-quality protein (eggs, yogurt) over refined carbohydrates (pancakes, bagels, Pop-Tarts) lose weight faster and maintain higher levels of energy throughout the day.

The All-Natural Disaster

7UP

The claim: “All Natural Flavors”

The truth: The FDA doesn’t have a definition for this claim. Case in point: 7UP now boasts that it’s made with 100 percent natural ingredients. That’s because they’ve switched from carbonated water to filtered water, from citric acid to natural citric acid, and from calcium disodium EDTA to natural potassium citrate. Got it? Here’s the kicker: The soft drink is still sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup, which can’t be made without the help of a centrifuge.

What you really want: A healthy choice, like lemon and seltzer. 7UP’s tactic is employed primarily by companies making junk food (see also: Natural Cheetos). Considering that the calorie counts are nearly always identical with their “unnatural” brethren (in the case of 7UP, calories and sugar counts are the exact same), concentrate on the bigger issues and find reliably healthy drinks and snacks.

The Cheeseless Cheese Pizza

Mama Celeste Original Pizza

The claim: “Original Pizza”

The truth: Ever had a pizza without cheese? Well, if you eat this one you will have, since Mama Celeste doesn’t use a single shred of real cheese in making this problematic pie. What does she use? Imitation mozzarella, which is the second ingredient on the list and is composed mostly of partially hydrogenated soybean oil, endowing each serving with 5 grams of nasty trans fats. Also watch out for the attachment of the word “flavored,” as in “strawberry-flavored”; it’s a surefire sign that the product is utterly fruitless.

What you really want: Cheese, strawberries, or whatever you think it is you’re getting. If the name or flavor in the food’s title isn’t one of the first few ingredients, find another product.

What you really want: Keep total trans-fat intake to no more than 1 percent of total calories—about 2.5 grams per day for most adults. That means reading the ingredients list (especially those that proclaim to be trans fat-free), and looking for “partially hydrogenated,” “shortening,” or “interesterified.”

BURN FAT FAST - Lose 10 to 17 pounds in 1 week.



Please don't fall for fake websites asking you to pay for diet plans. I got this diet plan from Sacred Heart Medical. They recommend this plan for their patients. They make sure that we get all nutrition we need, while we are dieting. I would highly recommend to do some Cardio exercise while you are on this diet. My firend and I followed this diet. I lost 11 pounds in one week and he lost 15 pounds. This diet is great. Try it to see the results. You can use any soup recipe. Make sure to put more vegetables and less oil.

Sacred Heart Medical Diet

This 7-day eating plan can be used as often as you like. If correctly followed, it will clean out your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being. After only 7 days of this process, you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 pounds and possibly 17 pounds, and experience an abundance of energy.

SOUP:
· 1 or 2 cans of stewed tomatoes
· 3 plus large green onions
· 1 large can of beef broth (no fat)
· 1 pkg. Lipton Soup mix (chicken noodle)
· 1 bunch of celery
· 2 cans green beans
· 2 lbs. Carrots
· 2 Green Peppers
Season with salt, pepper curry, parsley, if desired, or bouillon, hot or Worcestershire sauce. Cut veggies in small to medium pieces. Cover with water. Boil fast for 10 minutes. Reduce to simmer and continue to cook until veggies are tender.

This soup can be eaten anytime you are hungry during the week. Eat as much as you want, whenever you want. This soup will not add calories. The more you eat, the more you will lose. You may want to fill a thermos in the morning if you will be away during the day.

DRINKS:
· Unsweetened juices
· Tea (also herbal)
· Coffee
· Cranberry juice
· Skim milk
· Water, water, water

DAY ONE
Any fruit (except bananas). Cantaloupes and watermelon are lower in calories than most other fruits. Eat only soup and fruit today.

DAY TWO
All vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed with fresh raw, cooked or canned veggies. Try to eat green leafy veggies and stay away from dry beans, peas or corn. Eat veggies along with the soup. At dinnertime tonight reward yourself with a big baked potato and butter. Don't eat any fruits through today.

DAY THREE
Eat all the soup, fruit and veggies you want. Do not have a baked potato. If you have eaten as above for three days and not cheated, you should find that you have lost 5-7 pounds.

DAY FOUR
Bananas and skim milk: Eat at least 3 bananas and drink as much milk as you can today, along with the soup. Bananas are high in calories and carbohydrates, as is the milk but on this particular day, your body will need the potassium and carbs. Proteins and calcium to lessen the cravings for sweets.

DAY FIVE
Slice of Chicken and tomatoes: and a can of tomatoes, or as many as 6 tomatoes on this day. A glass of protein shake in skim milk. Eat the soup at least once today.

DAY SIX
Slice of chicken and veggies, eat to your heart's content of the chicken and veggies today. Be sure to eat the soup at least once today.

DAY SEVEN
Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juice and veggies, again, be sure to stuff yourself and eat the soup. You can add cooked veggies to your rice if you wish.

By the end of the 7th day, if you have not cheated on this diet, you should have lost 10 to 17 pounds. If you have lost more than 17 pounds, stay off the diet for two days before resuming the diet again.

This diet is fast. The secret lies within the principle that you will burn more calories than you take in. It will flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being. This diet does not lend itself to drinking any alcoholic beverages at any time. Because of the fat build-up in your system. Go off the diet at least 14 hours before any intake of alcohol.

Due to the variety of digestive systems in individuals, this diet will affect everyone differently. After day three, you will have more energy than when you began, if you do not cheat. After being on the diet for several days, you will find that your bowel movements have changed. Eat a cup of bran or fiber. Although you can have black coffee with this diet, you may find that you don't need caffeine after the third day.

The basic fat burning soup can be eaten anytime you feel hungry during the seven days. Eat as much as you wish. Remember the more you eat, the more you will lose. You can eat broiled, boiled or baked chicken instead of the beef. Absolutely no skin on the chicken. If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef on only one of the beef days. You need the high protein in the beef for the other days.

Continue on the diet as long as you wish and feel the difference both mentally and physically.

DO NOT - DO NOT
No bread, alcohol, carbonated drinks (including diet drinks). Remember, absolutely no fried foods.

DO - DO - DO - DO
Drink plenty - at least 6 to 8 glasses - of water a day, as well as any combination of the following beverages: black coffee, unsweetened fruit drinks, cranberry juice and skim milk.

This diet comes from the Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital that is used for overweight heart patients in order to lose weight rapidly, usually prior to surgery.
