SIX THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ORGANIC FOOD
NEW YORK, NY - DECEMBER 18, 2006: In the wake of the e-coli scare on the East Coast, many people are feeling the need to make more sound decisions about the kinds of foods they eat - in or out. Wildgreen Caf?, an Upper East Side health haven that offers vegetarian and organic menus, has compiled some information that may educate consumers in their neighborhood to the facts - and fictions - of organic foods, and help them make healthier choices at restaurants and grocery stores.
"The rising popularity and related expense of organically-grown foods, perceived as the 'Holy Grail' for health nuts, is creating a great deal of speculation about their actual health benefits," said Michael Hur, owner of the Wildgreen Cafe. "Recent media exposure has touted that nutritional labels sometimes clash with the reality of the growth process of these foods." Here are six things you should know about organic food.
1. Most children today grow up with pesticide build-up in their bodies.
These chemicals are a serious threat to their physical, emotional and mental development. Pesticides can also contribute to birth defects and multigenerational health problems, such as allergies, immunotoxicity, neurotoxicity and cancer.
2. Organic food is the best way of reducing exposure to toxins.
Toxins that are used in conventional agricultural practices include pesticides and heavy metals, which can damage nerve function and block hemoglobin production. Organically grown foods have minimal toxins and increased levels of important nutrients.
3. 'Natural' isn't organic! Check the "certified organic" label.
'Natural' is an unregulated term that can be applied by anyone, and is therefore potentially misleading. While the commonly seen food labels, 'all natural', 'free-range' or 'hormone-free' signify that the food has been raised or grown humanely, only the 'USDA Organic' label indicates that a food is certified organic.
4. Hollywood goes organic.
Many celebrities eat organic foods and support environmental causes. Usher and Lenny Kravitz can often be seen ordering organic drinks in Hollywood. Kelly Preston and John Travolta are big fans of organic foods, and also dedicate their time to promoting environmental causes.
5. Organic food tastes great.
Well-balanced soils grow strong healthy plants that taste great. Organic oranges and vine-ripened tomatoes make for sweet and flavorful treats.
6. You can get gourmet organic food in your very own neighborhood.
You may think that organic food requires special cooking methods, or may be hard to come by when dining out. You can get gourmet organic food just around corner at the Wildgreen Caf? on 88th Street and 3rd Avenue. The Wildgreen Caf? features an organic hot and cold bar, coffee/tea, snacks, cereals and Vegetarian/Vegan Specialties.

Many studies have been done on chlorophyll's benefits. It is fascinating to me that the chlorophyll pigment, is almost identical to our blood pigments! The biggest difference is that the chlorophyll pigments center atom is magnesium, while our bloods center atom is iron. Think of it! The element that causes plants to be able to convert light into energy, is almost identical to our blood pigment. Thus the nickname: "green blood". It is no wonder that chlorophyll has been shown to work wonders for our blood! With undiseased blood, most diseases are impossible.
