(NaturalNews) When it comes to foods, superfoods and even nutritional
supplements from China, "organic" is largely a hoax. This is my opinion,
of course, but I've been researching the issue quite extensively as the
key decision maker for new products in the Natural News Store. And I've
come to the conclusion that "organic" from China is largely a fraud.
Here's why...
First off, you're going to be shocked to learn that there is no limit to how much mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic and aluminum is allowed in "organic" products.
It's
a fact: USDA organic standards place NO LIMITS on levels of heavy
metals contamination of certified organic foods. Even further, there is
no limit on the contamination of PCBs, BPA and other synthetic chemicals
that's allowed in certified organic foods, superfoods and supplements.
At
this point, you're probably shaking your head in disbelief and
thinking, "No, that can't be true. Organic standards must check for
heavy metals and chemical contamination, right?"
No! "Organic" certifies a process of how food is grown or produced. It certifies that the farmer doesn't add
pesticides, herbicides, petroleum-based fertilizer, metals or synthetic
chemicals to the crop (among other things), and it certifies that the
soil must be free from such things for a certain number of years before
organic certification is approved.
But organic certification does nothing to address environmental sources of pollution
such as chemtrails, contaminated irrigation water, and fallout from
industrial or chemical factories that might be nearby. A certified
organic farmer can use polluted water on their crops and still have the crops labeled "organic."
