You hear more and more in the media about the benefits of eating organic food as opposed to chemically enhanced food. While some studies express that there is very little difference in the mineral and nutritional content of genetically modified and unaltered organic food. most of us know this is not the case.

If you look into some of the fundamental differences between the two types, intelligence will be all you need to understand that there is a lot more benefit to be derived from eating organic food as opposed to its inferior counterpart.

To begin with, the issue of chemically enhancing now associated with today’s conventional methods of turning out our crops, seems to show that the produce is enhanced with more water, this speeds up plant growth and an artificial look that to be true. Just look at all the myriad of in your local super store and you will know there is no way, veg can ever look so uniformly perfect. On the other hand, non GM vegetables have what is known as more "dry matter" meaning that it is actually built of more food substance and less water. This will go towards making up more of your day's quota of vitamins and nutrients.

Another bonus for eating non GM Veg is the higher amount of phytonutrients. These are life enhancing antioxidants that are an intrinsic part of the plant, as a defence against harmful chemicals and pesticides during its growing faze. It it comes as no suprise that a plant allowed to grow without pesticides and chemicals will have a lot more of its natural defences (pyhtonutrients) intact, these of course will be passed on to you as you consume them. The more common phytonutrients are; lycopene (found in tomatoes), polyphenols (found in potatoes) and flavenols (to be found in apples).
