Why You Must Think About Going Organic and Quickly
I’m going to clear up a bit about USDA certified organic items, in particular, organic coffee.
1) No synthetic chemicals or pesticides can be used to cultivate certified organic crops.
2) Certified organic items can’t contain genetically modified plants or animals.
3) In order for an item to be labeled 100% organic it may only contain certified organic ingredients and/or processing agents, excluding water and salt.
4) Products labeled organic will contain at least 95% organic certified components, and the remaining 5% must be components that are not available in an organic counterpart.
5) If you see the USDA organic logo it indicates the product is either 100% Organic or 95% organic.
6) Agricultural items labeled organic, such as organic coffee, must not be treated with sewage sludge (yes conventional crops are), or ionizing radiation.
The above is just a quick rundown of the USDA organic labeling requirements. Onto Organic Coffee. Seeing as how coffee necessarily only contains “coffee”, organic coffee blends are probably 100% organic, if they are only 95% the other 5% of the items must be printed on the product information panel.
Do you want to know why you should care if your coffee is organic?
1) I probably don’t want to drink something that was fertilized with sewage sludge, do you?
2) In the US, genetically engineered products don’t have to be labeled as such, so the only way to know if your coffee was not genetically engineered is to purchase certified organic coffee.
3) If you enjoy decaf. coffee this is where it is vital that you only consume organic coffee. Regular coffees use nasty chemicals like methylene chloride and ethyl acetate to decaffeinate the coffees. Organic decaffeinated coffees are processed by a water cialis 40 mg dose process. A lot of studies indicate that drinking decaffeinated coffee leads to rheumatoid arthritis. More studies need to buy cialis online be conducted to compare current (chemical decaf.) and water processed decaf.
4) Not only are chemicals bad for us, but think about the humble coffee farmers. Many coffee farmers are very poor and can’t come up with the money for proper protective equipment, resulting in hazardous buy Cytoxan online exposure to chemicals.
I have only listed a few topics about the benefits of organic coffee. Then there is the manufacturing of pesticides and herbicides. The environmental damage from this alone is motivation enough to persuade anyone to drink organic coffee.
Finally, there is the purity factor. Farmers cultivating their crops organically must pay extra special attention to their crops to ensure they are not destroyed by disease. I don’t care if you think I’m just trying to put forth my agenda, or promote your good health, please give organic coffee a taste and pass the word.
