As expressed in 'The Missing Nutrients' by Dr. Steve Nugent.
'There is a long list of reasons to buy organically raised foods. I go to great pains and expense to do that, so obviously I am in favour of it. Yes, you will pay more, and not just because the sellers know they can charge more. The cost of raising livestock and produce as nature intended in a world that is far from its original design is hugely expensive. (Such a pity...)
Most toxins cannot be seen or detected by human senses. Psychologically we want to see the beauty of nature and tell ourselves we are looking at a clean, pure, safe, healthy nutritional environment - but that, my friends, is a trap.
Most people can start to small benzene in the air at 1.5-4.7 parts of benzene per million parts of air(ppm). They can smell benzene in water at 2 ppm. The EPA has set the maximum permissible level of benzene in drinking water at 5 parts per billion (ppb). One ppb is one 1000th of a ppm. Therefore, long before you can smell benzene, you will have already far exceeded safe levels. Most people can't begin to taste benzene in water until it reaches 0.5-4.5 ppm, again, far beyond safe levels. With this fact in mind, as you continue reading please try to suppress the inevitable thought that will go something like, "But my environment looks great, and I feel just fine."
