Written by Sayer Ji, Founder
USDA organic certification affords the U.S. consumer one of the only food quality protections available today, but does it really guarantee a food product is chemical free?
Human and Synthetic Hormones Now Contaminate Fresh Produce
Written by Sayer Ji, Founder

Already found in places as varied as our teeth (dental sealant) to our paper products (receipts, money), our meat to our canned foods, new research now indicates that even fresh, whole vegetables and fruits are no longer immune to this growing biological and chemical threat.

Our society is built around products and services and all the ways they are advertised to us in a way designed to outpace the competition.
