European Union, it was dis- covered that organic vegeta- bles and fruits have 50 percent more antioxidants than non-organic. The scien- tists were convinced that eat- ing organic food would cut the risk of developing heart disease, cancer and other se- rious diseases. There is another benefit to


what you’re eating? Probably not. Because so much of our fruits and vegetables are ma- nipulated and engineered to look good and last longer. It may seem that non-organic fruits and vegetables aremore healthier for you because of the lower price tag, but there comes a time when cheap is not always the answer to health and wellness. Well, the truth is that non-


organic food is over. A $25 million study on organic foods – the most expensive study known to date – con- cluded that organic foods are more nutritious than non-or- ganic. It also can help extend an individual’s life and pre- vent known diseases. In “Seeds of Deception,” a

book that “reveals howindus- trymanipulation and political collusion – not sound science – allowdangerous genetically engineered food into your daily diet,” author Jeffery Smith notes that all of us have been misled by what science can do, or have done, to our food supply chain. When shopping for organic


food, some stores might not carry genetically modified foods, because they under- stand what happens to food that doesn’t seem to perish or spoil. The government has a stake in genetically modified food as well. Welfare recipients, for ex-


ample, are doled out cheese and other commodities once a month. Soldiers at war also are given rations that are non- perishable that can last for years. Have you ever won- dered how food can be pack- aged and shelved for 20 to 30 years without spoiling or rot- ting? Here’s a test you can try at
