Nutrition lie



Hans Ulrich Grimm (ex-editor at mirror and author some critical nutrition books ) is gourmet eating so organic products and claims in his book "food make you sick." A claim that should, we think that the food industry can not be so easy lying down. But so far no one has it dafür verklagt, was er als weitere Bestätigung der Richtigkeit seiner Thesen ansieht.

Die Zeitung "bio.logisch" der Biofarm (Ausgabe 1/06) hat ihn interviewt. Einige wichtige Aussagen daraus:

• Das blinde Vertrauen der Konsumenten in die staatliche Kontrollemechansimen bei der Lebensmittelherstellung ist nicht gerechtfertigt.
  
• Beispiel Harmlosigkeit von Zusatzstoffen: das Referenzgutachten, mit dem Glutamat in Deutschland die Harmlosigkeit bescheinigt wurde, war von einem Glutamat-Hersteller selber in Auftrag gegeben worden. Bereits bestehende, kritische Untersuchungen wurden nicht mit einbezogen.
• sample quantities of additives: the legally limited quantities of additives are for individual products, but not for the total quantities consumed by the person from the day. For these "cluster" of potentially harmful substances so everyone is responsible.
  
  
• organic potatoes at Aldi ? Grimm is the skeptical: the principle of the supermarket itself is not ecological for him. The leave for a viable wholesale distribution of required amounts no longer belong locally and this increases the cost of transportation and the freshness of the product decreases.
  
  
• Bio for the average earner not affordable? Also contrary to the author and calculates by means of examples, it is not the high-quality "raw materials" (basic food) are making the food expensive, but the industrial processing of raw materials into finished products. Homemade chicken soup and stews (made with organic chicken) are less expensive than ready-made from the same Knorr and Aldi.
  
  
• do not get sick today usual food, they also bring us to the mind. This is another argument of the author, based on brain research in the last 10 years. Psychological well-being, good or bad mood, thinking, the ability to clear - all that is influenced by, what we have in the stomach and intestine.
  well-being is thus determined not only by external influences of the situation, but also by the materials that we should include on the daily food that can be found in manufactured products but not very often. For the products occurring in these colors, flavors and sweeteners, however, have precisely the opposite effect on brain activity and body condition.

organic, fresh, locally (directly from the farmers market, small shop, etc.) and unprocessed as possible - this is then also the recommendation of Hans-Ulrich Grimm.
So really just as well be 99% of people in just under 99% of the Duration of approximately 10,000 year history of agriculture have fed ...
