My Inorganic Life

I cannot even begin to tell you how it shocks me to hear that inorganic foods can wreak havoc on the metabolism. I don't know why it shocks me. It shouldn't. But it does.

And while we're on the subject, how about the question we've all asked: Why is it more expensive to buy food which has had less processing done to it? I know, I know, there's this whole scientific method to all of it, and it cost more because everything else is being messed with so doing nothing is doing extra.
But still- why should we pay more for having nothing done?

The following is part of an article on fitbie.msn.com.

Go Organic When You Can

Canadian researchers report that dieters with the most organochlorines (pollutants from pesticides, which are stored in fat cells) experience a greater-than-normal dip in metabolism as they lose weight, perhaps because the toxins interfere with the energy-burning process. In other words, pesticides make it harder to lose pounds.

Of course, it's not always easy to find—or afford—organic produce. But in general, conventionally grown items that you peel—avocado, grapefruit, bananas—are fine. But choose organic when buying celery, peaches, strawberries, apples, blueberries, nectarines, sweet bell peppers, spinach, kale and collard greens, cherries, potatoes, and imported grapes; they tend to have the highest levels of pesticides.
