Holidays Coming: There are Some Products Untouched by GMO's

You know the holiday season is almost upon us and cooks in most homes will be making treats to serve their family and friends. There is a company that is trying to do good by the consumer by producing canned goods that are verified GMO and high fructose free, as well as, the cans being BPA free. One of these is Oregon.

The company announced that...By the end of the year, labels on Oregon Fruit Products’ canned goods and “Pourable Fruit” containers will proclaim the company doesn’t use genetically engineered ingredients and has verification from the Non-GMO Project to prove it.

The company has never used genetically modified fruit and berries and the list of such products includes just two things: papaya and a handful of apple varieties.

But today’s consumer “is a thorough label-reader,” company CEO Chris Sarles said in a news release. “And as an 81-year-old company, it is crucial that we maintain and build upon the brand trust we have built over the decades.

“We have always held our sourcing, ingredients, processing, and packaging to the highest standards,” Sarles said in the prepared statement, “and now our labels reflect that unwavering dedication.”

The company labels also will say it doesn’t sweeten its products with high-fructose corn syrup, which it hasn’t used for years. And beginning with the 2016 harvest, the company is using cans without Bisphenol A (BPA) lining.

So when you shop in the coming season, read your labels and choose wisely. I know that not everyone has access to organic, fresh produce, or the time to make homemade pie and other pastry fillings. So, this is an alternative that can be used for your peace of mind when trying to live as healthy as possible. 

Have a great day---

Now We Have Bio-Engineered Nano-Food-What's Next?

Some interesting new findings for you.

Note: If video is in full view, the little over-lapping box disappears.

For over 15 years, bio-engineered Nano-Food has been taking over our commercial and corporate food supplies. Un-regulated, untested, Nanotechnology was a One Trillion Dollar Market in 2014 while Engineered NanoFoods was said to be at $5.8 Billion in 2012.

Senior scientists have warned that nanotechnology, the manipulation of matter at the scale of atoms and molecules, introduces serious new risks to human and environmental health.

Yet, in the absence of public debate, or oversight from regulators, unlabelled foods manufactured using nanotechnology have begun to appear on our supermarket shelves.

Around the world, there is an increase in interest in our food, health, and the environment.

Where our products are produced, how, why, by whom, how far have they travelled, how long have they been stored etc, should be of interest and a concern to all of us. The organic and local food movements have emerged as an intuitive and practical response to the increasing use of chemicals in food production, and to the growing alienation of industrial agribusiness from holistic agricultural systems.

Modern technology may sound fascinating, and seem good to many people after just a casual observance. However, a need to look at the long-range outcome of ingesting these so-called miracle foods needs to be seriously considered on behalf of not only ourselves and our health and well-being, but, also, that of future generations.  

Be alert, be aware, and grow your own food, or look for local organic farmers, if at all possible.

In health & happiness,
Stephen
