Claire’s Story…
“It all started in 2009 when the medication that was supposed to keep me safe stopped working.”
claire goodallI was tired every day, run-down, and sick of feeling like I was just covering up the real issues at hand. After many years of many medications and many side effects and various complications with them, I realized that there were better ways to heal and maintain a healthy life. I began to see more and more that our world is becoming dependent on these medications that, in all reality, can end up doing more harm than good.
I became disgusted with ingredient labels, even on the back of a (what should have been) simple bag of bread. Why all of the additives and preservatives? Even things we think should be healthy, we’ve somehow managed to suck the benefits from-think bulging, shiny, fruit covered in wax you couldn’t scrub off with a sponge. I realized that just because something is being sold, does not mean it is safe, and that nothing was going to change unless we started to change ourselves.
I started Everyday Roots to share my thoughts and experiences, and quickly people began to open up about themselves and share their own stories. I learned that there are thousands of people just like me. We have been through similar struggles, and share the same desire to live better. That is really why I wrote The Everyday Roots Book, with the goal of guiding those people who I knew nothing about, but still felt like i’d known forever. I want it to help people who want to live a naturally happy, healthy life-and to restore faith in our roots for those who have yet to change their mind.

Stanford Scientists Cast Doubt on Advantages of Organic Meat and Produce

Maybe — or maybe not.

Stanford University scientists have weighed in on the “maybe not” side of the debate after an extensive examination of four decades of research comparing organic and conventional foods.

They concluded that fruits and vegetables labeled organic were, on average, no more nutritious than their conventional counterparts, which tend to be far less expensive. Nor were they any less likely to be contaminated by dangerous bacteria like E. coli.

The researchers also found no obvious health advantages to organic meats.

Conventional fruits and vegetables did have more pesticide residue, but the levels were almost always under the allowed safety limits, the scientists said. The Environmental Protection Agency sets the limits at levels that it says do not harm humans.

“When we began this project, we thought that there would likely be some findings that would support the superiority of organics over conventional food,” said Dr. Dena Bravata, a senior affiliate with Stanford’s Center for Health Policy and the senior author of the paper, which appears in Tuesday’s issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine. “I think we were definitely surprised.”

The conclusions will almost certainly fuel the debate over whether organic foods are a smart choice for healthier living or a marketing tool that gulls people into overpaying. The production of organic food is governed by a raft of regulations that generally prohibit the use of synthetic pesticides, hormones and additives.

The organic produce market in the United States has grown quickly, up 12 percent last year, to $12.4 billion, compared with 2010, according to the Organic Trade Association. Organic meat has a smaller share of the American market, at $538 million last year, the trade group said.

The findings seem unlikely to sway many fans of organic food. Advocates for organic farming said the Stanford researchers failed to appreciate the differences they did find between the two types of food — differences that validated the reasons people usually cite for buying organic. Organic produce, as expected, was much less likely to retain traces of pesticides.

Organic chicken and pork were less likely to be contaminated by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

“Those are the big motivators for the organic consumer,” said Christine Bushway, the executive director of the trade association.
