What is Safe?
Is Organic Food a 100% Organic?
We are currently
living in the midst of the booming Organic Food movement. In today’s market
there are thousands of specialized stores, supermarkets, and online retailers
throughout the country that promote the consumption of “organic foods”. Even with prices reaching as high as 20,30 or even
50% above the regular “non organic foods”
cost, the response of the general public has been enormously positive.
However, what
happens when we bring our organic food home? This food will have to be washed,
cooked, and sometimes boiled with water that is “Not Pure”. You may be asking
yourself…what do you mean by “Not pure water”?
It is common knowledge that municipal or town water is disinfected with
chlorine, but sometimes the levels used are far beyond of what approves the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) standards are. In other words, when we wash, prepare and cook our organic food
with water levels that are 1,2 or even 3 PPM (parts per million) of chlorine and others chemicals , those
chemicals will stick to our organic food. So now the question is: Is
our organic food still organic? How can we make sure that we provide
only safe, healthy food and water for ourselves and loved ones?
It is important
to give the proper consideration to the type of water that is entering into our
home. PURE water is our main food “source”. It is more important than any other
food you bring into your home. It really does not matter how much organic food
we are buying for our family if our water is not a 100% pure. Don’t you agree?
It is time that
we all pay more attention to this matter and how we can achieve the best and
healthiest living conditions for our families. A good way
to start is by installing in the point of entry a water system that is
certified for organizations like www.wqa.org, www.nsf.org, www.epa.gov, among others. Always make sure that your water specialist people and
companies are certified. Do not put your family at risk. Water is the main
source of food; so do not take it for granted.
