Is it more healthful to human to eat fuits and meat of the animals that are grown and raised using chemicals a

Question

Isn't it possible that this may be one of the reasons or causes why the life span of human is becoming shorter because of those artificial gowth enhancing chemicals and fertilizers?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as true organic veg/fruit/meat. The field can be cross contaminated by spraying in other fields as the wind will carry fertilizers and chemicals. Plus planes dumping aviation fuel in the atmosphere can contaminate everything on the ground. Even animals like us breathe in this junk that is everywhere. It is a waste of money buying organic food, it has no extra health benefits.

Interesting Facts About Organic Farming
Pesticides:

Over 450 pesticide active ingredients are licensed for use in UK agriculture (1), and around 25,000 tonnes of pesticides were applied to UK crops in 2000 (2). Due to the persistent nature of many pesticides, air, water and soils are inevitably contaminated by them.

Soil Association standards only allow organic farmers restricted use of seven non-synthetic pesticides that have been approved on the basis of their origin, environmental impact and potential to persist as residues.

They tend to represent the final option for pest control when other methods have failed or are known to be ineffective. They are only used on a non-routine basis following authorisation from the certifying body for a specific reason.

Trace elements of pesticides often remain in our food; A "Which" report of September 2001 states "pesticides used in conventional farming are toxic chemicals which kill insects, weeds and fungi, for example. But they can also harm humans, wildlife and the environment"

The issue of pesticide residues in produce is particularly pertinent to children, who consume far more produce per pound of body weight than do adults. But with regard to children, the issue of pesticide residues is not limited to foods. There is growing evidence that children are far more sensitive than adults to the effects of pesticides in the environment, due to their rapidly developing nervous systems.
Food additives:

Organic standards permit only a limited list of around 30 additives which are allowed in organic food products only if the authenticity of the product is respected and the product cannot be produced or preserved without them.

More than 500 food additives are permitted for use in non-organic processed foods (3). Food colourings such as tartrazine and other additives have been linked with symptoms such as allergic reactions, urticaria, headaches, asthmas, growth retardation and hyperactivity in children.
Hydrogenated fats:

No hydrogenated fats are used in organic food production. Also known as "trans-fats", they are created artificially by the hydrogenation process and are included in many processed foods to make the product more solid (for example, in biscuits and margarines).

In 1994 the Committee on Medical Aspects of Food Policy recommended reducing the amount of hydrogenated fats in the British diet (4), but they are still widely used and are present in many processed foods.
Wildlife:

Organic farming has many benefits for wildlife and the environment. For example, organic dairy farms do not cut hedges between March and October when birds are nesting. They are also restricted to cutting them once every 2 years, to provide undisturbed habitats for species such as dormice. Organic farmers are not allowed to plough up traditional meadows rich in wildlife.

The RSPB has stated that "organic farming systems benefit the environment"

In May 2000 the Soil Association and WWF-UK carried out research into the biodiversity benefits of organic farming (5). These were some of their research findings:

Plants: five times as many wild plants in arable fields, 57 percent more species, and several rare and declining wild arable species found only on the organic farms.

Birds: 25 per cent more birds at the field edge, 44 per cent more in-field in autumn/winter, 2.2 times as many breeding skylarks and higher skylark breeding rates.

Invertebrates: 1.6 times as many of the arthropods that comprise bird food; three times as many non-pest butterflies in the crop areas; one to five times as many spider numbers and one to two times as many spider species.

Crop pests: significant decrease in aphid numbers; no change in numbers of pest butterflies.

Quality of the habitats: both the field boundary and crop habitats were more favourable on the organic farms. The field boundaries had more trees, larger hedges and no spray drift; the crops were sparser, with no herbicides, allowing more weeds; there was also more grassland and a greater variety of crop types.

In conclusion, organic farming was identified as having many beneficial practices, reversing the trends in conventional farming that have caused the decline in biodiversity; crop rotations with grass leys, mixed spring and autumn sowing, more permanent pasture, no use of herbicides or synthetic pesticides and use of green manuring.

Answer 2

Absolutely! Eat only grass fed meats. Grain fed without hormones or antibiotics are not as safe as grass fed meat.

The list is long! Eat free range chickens and eggs,
Organic produce, stay away from soy and anything genetically engineered! (genetically modified) GM ingredients are sneaking into our foods and who knows what effect it will have on our health. No one seems to care as the bottom dollar is all that matters anymore.

I don't think our life span is shorter but more people are sick with highblood pressure, cholestoral, digestive diseases, etc.
Funny thing, the drugs they take don't cure them! If the symptoms are gone, people think they're cured but have to take the drugs for the rest of their lives. What about the side effects?

Good diet could take care of this country. I'll step off the soap box, now.

Answer 3

Fruits, vegetables, and meat are part of a healthy diet. Whether you choose to eat natural or organic meat or none at all is your decision. It's important to wash and prepare any meat carefully to protect against unwanted pesticides and chemicals. This, I believe, has nothing to do with life spans...life spans and the amount of time on earth for a population evolve (change) with time. That's just "how it is".

Answer 4

This sounds like one for Bill Nie the science guy

Answer 5

ya thats why i like organic.

what the cow or whatever has been treated with can be left in our foods.
