We should not assume that the USDA Organic label & Non GMO Project alone/together guarantees the absence of herbicides and pesticides in a product. This assumption does not hold true. For instance, glyphosate, a substance well-recognized by experts in the field of Naturopathic Functional Medicine and Naturopathic Gastroenterology, is known to be detrimental due to its role in contributing to the degradation of the mucosal layer and microbiome within our gastrointestinal tract. Maintaining a healthy mucosal layer and microbiome is crucial for supporting the optimal function of our immune system, which plays a pivotal role in maintaining our overall well-being. Pathogenic microorganisms such as harmful viruses, bacteria, and fungi have the capacity to thrive in the presence of heavy metals, pesticides, and herbicides within our bodies. Simultaneously, their presence negatively impacts the functioning of our immune system. This compelling insight has motivated me to adopt a dietary approach aimed at minimizing exposure to these detrimental substances. While I’ve adopted a lifestyle that promotes my body’s natural detox process.
Understanding how Glyphosate Contamination Impedes Organic Farming:
It is essential to appreciate how Glyphosate contamination presents challenges for organic farmers. Given these concerns, I find it imperative to explore and purchase products that bear third-party tested food labels. The overarching objective is to adopt a clean and health-conscious approach to our dietary choices and lifestyle within the confines of our home environment. By doing so, we aim to minimize exposure to potentially harmful substances on a daily basis. This strategy aligns with the philosophy that when we venture into the outside world, where controlling such factors becomes more challenging, our resilience to their negative effects will be significantly improved.
