Organic milk contains Omega 3 and Anti-Oxidant Higher

Omega-3
Research conducted in the UK by the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research (2003) and the University of Aberdeen (2004) showed that organic milk contains omega-3 is higher (71%) than non-organic milk. So is the ratio of omega-3 and omega-6, found organic milk is better than non-organic milk.

Omega-3 are useful for reducing blood fat levels (cholesterol and triglycerides). These substances prevent blood clots caused by platelets, which did not happen blockage in the arteries, which in turn may protect the heart and blood vessels by lowering cholesterol and blood triglycerides.

As for babies, omega-3 essential for the development of nerve function and vision. Even long before the baby is born, exactly when the process of brain growth, pregnant women are encouraged to consume foods that contain omega-3.

In adulthood, omega-3 has a special role. Brain, central nervous system and spinal nerve, composed mostly of unsaturated fatty acids (essential). This nervous system damage caused by the lack of many essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6), causing memory loss in middle age and the decline of brain function significantly (premature senile dementia).

Omega-3 also plays an important role in improving immune response and inhibit some cancers. It also can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease by 50%, pressing the bad cholesterol (LDL) that reduce the risk of atherosclerosis (blockage of blood vessels) which often leads to coronary heart disease or stroke.

Vitamin E, Vitamin A and Anti-Oxidant
Jacob Holm results of research, bio-chemical experts from the Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences in collaboration with Newcastle University in England Low Impact program Food Quality stated that organic milk contains vitamin E, vitamin A and anti-oxidants is higher than non-organic milk.

Drinking a pint of milk containing 17.5% organic vitamin E needed by women and 14% for men. Also contains beta carotene as much as a serving of vegetables.

Anti tumor
All milk contains terkonyugasi linoleic acid (conjugated linoleic acid = CLA) is believed to increase the immune system and reduces tumor growth. Content of CLA in organic milk is higher, this is probably due to more organic cows fed grass and natural feed than to feed berkonsentrat.

Free Pesticide Residues and Other Contamination
Milk is produced from organic cattle can reduce the risk of pesticide residues terkonsumsinya carried in milk. This is because prairie pasture cows on organic farms do not use pesticides (insecticides, or herbicides fungsida).

Dr. Vyvyan Howard, a pathologist and expert toksilogi Department of Anatomy and Cell biology Human Liverpool Universities UK, said that the increased danger of chemicals in humans has occurred since World War II when intensively managed agriculture. In the last 50 years, Dr. 300-500 Howard has traced the chemicals are potentially harmful absorbed human body.

"We have formal food safety limits are based on chemical-agriculture research. There is no toxicology tests for chemical combinations, despite the fact that these studies suggest that the effect of combining the chemicals can be more dangerous. Eat food grown organically is a way of efficiently to avoid the chemicals are. "

In December 2001, a British government report states that in a dangerous pesticide (Lindane) as much as 18% in non-milk samples throughout the UK oganik. Lindane is a hormone disruptors associated with birth-defects, sexual abnormalities, reproductive problems and breast cancer. The same reports show that the butter samples tested contain DDT, which can damage the nervous system and can cause cancer in humans. And found no pesticide residues in food samples tested organic.

Since organic food standards are strict, then the British farmers are the spearhead of the practices of organic farming Europe. The British organic farmers do not use pesticides from chemical synthesis, this means that food is guaranteed not to contain chemicals that can damage the health of the family.

Some experts believe that children are vulnerable to pesticide residue - the amount of food they consume more than adults, organ system is immature and limited ability to detoxify harmful substances such.

And the growing problem of infertility in humans are associated with pesticides. Five of the 12 suspected cases of pesticide residues as the cause of hormone disruption caused by chemicals.

Antibitotik and Fertility Hormones
Organic cows given antibiotics only when sick, unlike non-organic cows are routinely given antibiotics as a precaution. If the organic cows given antibiotics, the cows 'first resting'. In other words, the resulting milk can not be consumed as organic milk for at least 2x48 hours.

Growth hormone hypers (HPP) in cattle aims to increase cattle weight without having to be given in large quantities of feed and increase the fertility of cattle. This hormone is commonly used in cattle, sheep, poultry.

HPP can have an impact on early puberty in children, disorders of sex hormones and breast cancer. Organic cows banned use of fertility hormones.

GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms / Genetic Engineering Results organisms) organic milk produced from cows not fed from the feed containing genetically engineered organisms. Pakannya free of solvent extracts and urea, so that organic milk may contain no genetically engineered ingredients or solvent residues.

Mad Cow
Mad cow disease (Bovine spongiform encephalopathy = BSE) appeared around the 90's. The disease was once endemic in the UK and Canada in 1995 and 2001. The cause is not clear, the experts called prion, which is a living protein, as its cause. This disease causes a cow's brain turned into like a sponge or foam rubber. If the brain is like this, no longer an automatic function, and then comes physical symptoms such as madness in the cow. Stagger, no appetite, salivation, and his eyes water continuously issued.

To produce meat and milk in large quantities, cows naturally eat plants, carnivores and forced to practice cannibalism indirectly by giving feed derived from glandular stomach / abdomen other animals.


To meet the protein requirements of cattle on feed, cattle or sheep are cut, jeroannya not eaten and not thrown away as well. Rather processed, milled again to serve as animal feed as a protein source for livestock. Body parts are not sold cow made into flour. This feed is called a blood meal, bone meal, liver powder and so on. Well, that's a source of protein since the 90's is considered as a trigger and the emergence of mad cow epidemic in England and Canada in 1995 and 2001.

Organic cows never given feed derived from animals, so that no cases of mad cow found in the UK comes from organic dairy farms .

Tip Save Organic Food Shopping

Will issue concerns the use of formaldehyde, pesticides, dyes, and genetic engineering in food products, organic products are increasingly popular. Unfortunately the price of organic food products are relatively expensive, so only those with high incomes are the consumers.

But not to worry, though a limited budget you can still eat healthy food products. This he tipsnya:



1. Purchase organic food products in traditional markets, so you can get a lower price than in supermarkets.

2. Want to buy organic food at a low price? Come to the store before closing time. Organic dishes are always cooked without using preservatives, so it can not be stored longer. Usually the store will sell at half the price than the store.

3. Do not hesitate to ask friends, neighbors, or relatives, who had first become consumers of organic food. They must know where to buy organic products at a low price.

4. Learn your shopping list. Divide what kind of food that should be an organic product, not necessarily all. For example, if you feel concerned with the use of bleach in the rice, choose organic rice. Insert one or two items of organic products rather than none at all.

5. Take advantage of discount coupons.

Currently organic food products are still most popular. A number of hypermarket periodically even provide discounts on a few organic products it sells. Take advantage of this opportunity to get healthy food products.

6. Planting himself
Planting vegetables do not always have to be done in the vast land. In the front yard or in pots can. You can try to type an easy-planted vegetables, such as chili peppers, tomatoes, celery, or lettuce. Use the appropriate planting medium and avoid pesticides in the maintenance. Then enjoy the harvest of organic food 'garden' own.

Latest Research Quality and Safety of Organic Food


"Scientific evidence gathered from various research projects during the last four years showed that organic farming systems with low intake of produce quality and food safety in general is better than conventional food production systems", said project coordinator QLIF, Leifert from the University Prof.Carlo Newcastle in the UK. Results and new hypotheses are presented as an open workshop on the World Organic Congress in Modena (Italy) on 19-20 June 2008.
Composition of the increased nutrient content in organic food


There is additional evidence that organic farming practices and low berasupan on food composition to produce the increased nutrient content. QLIF workshop is to evaluate the latest scientific knowledge about the composition of food nutrient content of organic production systems and conventional critically. For example: the level of secondary metabolites in terms of nutritional benefit, but this effect is not always consistent. In the livestock production systems found that the quality, organic farming is more profitable, for example meat and milk. Another report recently published also shows the positive impact of organic milk consumption.
High food safety in organic products
QLIF Recent research also indicates that there is no evidence that the production system with a low intake of food safety risks causing a higher than conventional production systems. But in reality, agronomic practices used in organic agriculture, again showing a decrease of the risk associated animal drugs, residues and the development mikotoksin micro-organisms resistant to antibiotics in food.
Low productivity brings benefits to product quality and environmental
Challenges of organic production systems is that the results can be sold per hectare, in general, lower than conventional systems. On the other hand, QLIF project has a strategy to improve the results of some food products such as wheat, lettuce and tomato. Lower productivity was also suspected as the cause of product quality and a better environment so that, (i) intake lower nitrogen can reduce the release of N that causes ground water quality is better, (ii) plant density can cause the density of wild flora more high, and (iii) organic crop rotations can create diverse habitat for beneficial insects, soil microbes, and wild animals threatened with extinction. Thus, organic agriculture offers benefits to the local nature conservation.
Challenge to livestock production systems outside the cage
Organic production systems aim to improve the health and welfare of animals, but also considers the environment in which we live and the income of farmers. This is not an easy task, in which elements of animal welfare and environmental considerations are not always balanced each other. QLIF research results provide recommendations to farmers and other stakeholders on how to develop organic farming. For example by providing fiber to pig intestines in order to improve health, and included in the feed dry plants to combat worms that cause disease.
Energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions
QLIF research results and other studies show that in terms of energy use and emissions of gas, food crop production systems are generally superior to conventional production systems. On the farm sector, the conclusion is more varied. Animals such as cattle, can be grazed in the wider area, so that organic production can generate energy balance better than conventional systems. However, the efficiency of feed use in organic production is often lower than conventional production, and to feed that comes from cereals and other annual plant products, this causes the energy balance better on a conventional system.

Indonesia Forest Produce Organic Chemicals

Palangkaraya - A senior researcher from the University of Palangkaraya (Unpar) Central Kalimantan (Central Kalimantan), Prof. Dr. H. Ciptadi, MS said that Indonesia's tropical forests produce mikromolekul organic chemistry.

Citing the literature of tropical forests of Indonesia, compiled by more than 30 thousand species of higher plants that can be viewed as a natural engineering of industrial organic chemicals produced mikromolekul, said H Ciptadi, in Palangkaraya, Wednesday (26 / 8).

These plants, said Chairman Unpar Research Institute who is also professor of biochemistry / organic chemistry, can be used for health as for medicine and herbal medicine, but their utilization is still too small.

Utilization of plants for the drug, according to him, only about one percent of the approximately 750 types of plants that spread in this world.

In Indonesia from 30 thousand species, only used only about 250 species of plants, or about 0.83 percent for the needs of these drugs.

Itupun utilization for medicinal plants along with the increasing needs of growing drug increasingly accompanied by increased prices of medicines on the market.

Therefore, the Doctor (S3) ENSCM dropout biomolecules chemistry University of Montpellier II, France, the required effort to explore the natural resources of medicinal plants native to Indonesia.

Drug utilization, or made from materials derived from plants, in addition to easy and cheap, also reported rare side effects.

In order to realize the business in Indonesia using the original drug, the government has given protection and supervision by researching the use and benefits of standardization as well as seek new sources of original drug Indonsia it, he said.

Medicinal plants is one of the plants, some, or all parts of leaves, flowers, fruit, fruit leather, bark, stems, roots, and tubers of plants contain the active substance or substances which merit for health or treatment.

To quote another expert opinions, H. Ciptadi mentioned, there are groupings medicinal plants, namely traditional medicinal plants are plants that are known or believed to have the efficacy of the drug community and has been used as raw materials.

The second group of modern medicinal plants, ie plant species have been scientifically proven ingredients contain bioactive compounds or drugs are efficacious and its use is medically justifiable.

Another group, the potential medicinal plants, namely the use of plant species contain active compounds or materials that benefit, but not yet scientifically proven, or its use as an ingredient of traditional medicine is difficult traced. (Ant / yan)

Switch to Organic, comparable price?

Switch to Organic, comparable price?

General perception among consumers is that organic food is the right choice, for you who can afford it. People who choose to purchase organic foods do so with a variety of different reasons.

Some people say that the products that grow organic foods taste better. Others believe that by eating organic foods can lead toward better health, both for themselves and the environment.

But if there is clear evidence of this advantage? Organic products can cost more than three times more than the price of non-organic products, so if you want to switch to organic foods can make a significant difference to the budget of your family expenses. Is this good enough and worth?

First of all, let us consider the benefits for your family's health. By the standards of the food department USDA "Organic Foodstuffs cultivated without the use of pesticides commonly used, namely petroleum-based fertilizers, or manure-based animal waste. Dikembangbiakan animals organically must be fed organic food and are given access to exit. The animals are not given antibiotics or growth hormones. "

As we all know, with more and more contact with pesticide materials means the greater the risk to health, especially in children. Based on EPA's list of Research Department from birth defects, damage to the nervous tissues and cancer are some health problems that primarily result from too much exposed to the effects of pesticides. Of course, the department EPA has imposed a ban against the use of pesticides in growing them. However, the government still recommends that consumers wash and peel first before eating agricultural products, in order to remove sediment pesticides.

Because organic foods grown without using pesticides, they carry less residue, and even then if any. Apparently it is true, that by eating organic foods will be better for your health.

However also by the EPA, levels of pesticides on non-organic foods are low enough so that they are no longer a threat to health. Furthermore, the use of pesticides has several other important advantages, such as ensuring that the harvest is greater (and therefore can also reduce the price) and can control the growth of pests.

Environmental working group of non-profit organization has identified 12 types of the following foodstuffs contain levels of pesticide contamination hardest: peaches, apples, peppers, celery, plums, strawberries, cherries, pears, imported grapes, spinach vegetables, lettuce and potatoes. Do not keep food more nutritious-examine this when cleaning them, or buy organic.

In the conventional agricultural pesticides are not the only entity designated by the organic agriculture as a cause of health risks. Many people think that antibiotics and growth hormones, both banned in the use for the cultivation of organic crops, because the effects are not good.

In general, antibiotics have been a lot of attacking us in recent years, and because of the excessive use has led to more bacteria and viruses kebalnya to antibiotics.

In fact, the CDC states that "Nearly all significant bacterial infection in the world has become resistant to antibiotics most commonly used".

It is a bad idea for people to use antibiotics when not really necessary or if too often, also a good idea not to give it to healthy animals, since both bacteria and viruses both have an effect on human and animal health.

According to the USDA standards, if an animal is given antibiotics, the meat can not be sold as organic meat.

Therefore, buying meat and organic dairy products can help protect us from diseases that are resistant to antibiotics. Conversely, buying organic milk does not guarantee that the cows that produce milk that is never given antibiotics. That does not mean that the milk itself does not contain antibiotics, because the cow had to be free of antibiotics for at least a year before the farmer can sell the milk as organic milk.

There is disagreement about the safety of growth hormone administration to cattle to increase animal production of fresh milk or accelerate growth. Unity institutions in Europe have banned the practice of good habits in beef cattle and in dairy cows, but the council says that the U.S. FDA has determined that there is no real risk to human health.

Although rbBGH (recombinant bovine growth hormone = one type of growth hormones in cattle) can have negative effects on humans when injected into their bodies, but the FDA says that the human digestive tract and eliminating them has been destroyed by the time we mencernakannya through our food.

However milk from dairy cows results rbBGH containing higher levels will be a natural growth factor called IGF-1, and some health experts link high levels with breast cancer and prostate cancer in humans.

The price of organic milk is more expensive may be appropriate, if he can calm your mind.

Benefits for the Environment
Although the benefits of organic food consumption for the health of human body had not received official recognition from government agencies, but evidence of its benefits to the environment is stronger. Prohibition of the use of pesticides and fertilizers, certain types of organic plantations has reduced the pollution of soil and water, maintaining the diversity of plants and animals, and help produce agricultural land more fertile.

Farming organic way can also save energy that was used to produce synthetic fertilizers and peptisida. According to Nature magazine there is some evidence to suggest that carbon dioxide emissions (greenhouse gas) is reduced in organic land.

Who liked the way in organic farming such as IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movement), stated that there are many more advantages to be gained for the environment, but so far the research study is not sufficient to support their theory.

Disadvantages
It sounds great! So what is the lack of organic farming? Well, one of the main reasons why the farmers use fertilizer is to restore the substance of nitrogen into the soil so plants can absorb it.

Because organic farming does not use synthetic fertilizers, they instead rely on natural methods, such as compost and the changing types of crop plants, such as plant pods. Unfortunately, the compost can not provide the return of nitrogen to the soil to grow a large number of plants required to feed the cattle world.

Changing the type of crop plants is actually very promising, but many farmers unable to plant crops that they themselves could not sell it. Although some types of plants can be eaten pod, but the best type of nitrogen in producing precisely the kind that can not be eaten.

This means that organic farming must sometimes be allowed to plant crops that no one will ever buy. The organic food lovers who never gave up revealed that if the world continued to consume large amounts of meat, organic agriculture still will not stop.

Of course the solution of this problem is for people to reduce consumption of meat and increased consumption of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.

According to the American Cancer Institute Research (AIRC) most Americans consume too much meat and need to reduce it for health reasons and environmental reasons.

So, if you care about your family's health and the environment, then reduce the consumption of meat and buying organic products is a great choice.

The price of meat is generally more expensive than vegetables, so by reducing the meat should be able to help offset the price of organic products is higher. Make sure your family's protein intake and get adequate nutrition from other food sources to ensure a balance diet. (Liz Casler / The Epoch Times / feb)

ORGANIC WASTE TO ANIMALS

ORGANIC WASTE TO ANIMALS

As awareness of the environment does not exist and make us as waste feed our goats. Try starting from the price can be a bit early. Making the feed of waste separation at the start with organic and inorganic waste, followed by a census, fermentation, drying, penepungan, mixing and production pelet.Pemisahan organic waste from inorganic waste is waste that can be processed only digested by animals and animal protection by consuming toxic or materials that contain heavy metals.


Separation of waste producers should be in (or household). Therefore, the programs that most of the organic and inorganic waste in the waste producers. Garbage from hospitals and factories, many contain heavy metals or toxic materials should be avoided. Separate organic waste from other materials or shredded subsequent to the census forms that are smaller and to facilitate fermentation.

Fermentation is to see the actual values of dissolved nutrients and waste, because the fetus is usually low nutrient waste but relatively high crude fiber. Fermentation carried out with bacteria and inokulan the proper way to make high quality products. Once fermented, dry with a dry waste ground into flour before. Then add flour and stir the waste in the enzyme mixing machine, so that a complete meal in accordance with the needs of goats. If necessary, all the material that formed Pelet. Feed pellets can be stored up to 6 months. Ideally, full rations received about 3% of live weight of cattle per day. With the amount of fodder, cow no longer need HMT or grass. Some farmers are still in the grass. For example, if the animals are given complete feed 1.5% of live weight per day, grass farmer only needs to give 50% of the operating needs.

Economic Benefits
Assessment Center for Agricultural Research (BPTP) Bali shows that the use of a complete waste of feed raw materials as much as 1.5% of weight loss on Bali cattle for 5 minutes, so that more and more weight than the average 650 grams per day. Economical, high trash can obtain materials and production costs are relatively cheap, while the impact on the growth of animals is very good. Based on economic analysis, complete with cow rations waste of resources to benefit approximately 200% compared with the traditional way
