Juice Plus+® Contains Nutrients From Fruits And Vegetables

There may be conspiracy to make people believe that organic foods are not as good or even have more benefit than conventionally grown foods. We believe that Juice Plus+® is a good supplement to a healthy diet because most people don't get enough fruits and vegetables - organic or not - and Juice Plus+® contains nutrients from a variety of those foods. But why would there be motivation to make us believe that organic foods are not what 'they' say they are? Here's more --

Despite its obvious benefits for our health and for the environment, organic food continues to be denigrated by the political and corporate establishment in Britain. The food industry, in alliance with pharmaceutical and big biotechnology companies, has waged a long, often cynical campaign to convince the public that mass-produced, chemically-assisted and intensively-farmed products are just as good as organic foods, despite mounting evidence to the contrary.

The latest assault in this propaganda exercise comes from the Food Standards Agency, the government’s so-called independent watchdog, which has just published a report claiming that there is no nutritional benefit to be gained from eating organic produce. Those forces bent on promoting GM crops and industrialised production, would have been delighted by the widespread media coverage of the Agency’s report, portraying enthusiasm for organic foods as little more than a fad among neurotic consumers that would pass once the public is given the correct information.

But what is truly misguided is not the increasing popularity of organic goods, but the Food Standards Agency’s determination to halt this trend and instead promote genetic modification. The new report from the FSA highlights this. For all the publicity it has attracted, the document does not contain any new material. In fact, it is just an analysis of existing research carried out by other bodies. Moreover, the organisation that conducted this second-hand study, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, is not renowned as a leading centre in this field.

Organic produce: a threat to corporate power?
Indeed, there is far more significant work currently beirightng done on organic foods by several other bodies, some of it funded by the European Union, though the FSA has chosen to ignore it.  It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the FSA has decided to give such loud backing to this report because it can bend the findings to suit its political, pro-GM, anti-organic agenda.

Comments: There is no substitute for a diet rich in whole food fruits and vegetables, and organically grown are better. The problem with this point is that most people don't get anything close to a healthy diet on a regular basis, that organic or not probably doesn't make a difference in their overall health. If you're eating fast food or junk food or drinking soft drinks, then eat 1 piece of organically grown fruit or vegetable, the scale is still tipping to the side of unhealthy...all things considered. So choose a healthy diet, then start thinking about organic for an even healthier diet.

Diet and exercise can help reduce the risk of degenerative diseases like heart disease and stroke, diabetes and cancer. Learn why eating fruits and vegetables is especially important, and how you can benefit from adding Juice Plus+® to your diet.

The fruits and vegetables are thoroughly washed before juicing. Then the juice is dried at a low enough temperature to keep the 'vitality' of the nutrients. What's left are the nutrients minus the water and sugar. Quality control keeps regular tests to be sure there is no, at are least hardly detectable amounts, of pesticides that may have been used on the fruits and vegetables. So, no you won't get "concentrated pesticides". (Also, the molecular make-up of the pesticides is such that any remaining pesticide that may be present will bind to the sugar during the drying process).

Since Juice+ is not organic, is it possible pesticides could get concentrated in the capsule?
