New Report Charges 'Natural' Cereal Industry Is Deceptive eNews Park Forest
The new report, Cereal Crimes: How “Natural” Claims Deceive Consumers and Undermine the Organic Label—A Look Down the Cereal and Granola Aisle , explores in-depth this growing trend of marketing conventional foods as “natural” to lure health-conscious and eco-conscious consumers and their shopping dollars. As Beyond Pesticides has pointed out in previous Daily News entries and our fact sheet, “ Making Sure Green Consumer Claims Are Truthful ,” the report also acknowledges that there are no restrictions for foods labeled “natural.” Unlike the organic label, no government agency, certification group, or other independent entity defines the term “natural” on processed food packages or ensures that the claim has merit.
Analysis by Cornucopia of wholesale and retail cereal and granola prices reveals that “natural” products often are priced similarly or higher than equivalent organic product. This suggests that some companies are profiting from consumer confusion, in an attempt to cash in on the growing demand for organic food. Though the prices may be similar, however, there is a vast difference between organic and “natural” products from grain produced with the use of toxic pesticides. In some cases, companies charge high prices for “natural” products that even contain genetically engineered crops developed by St. Louis-based Monsanto.

organic???
when it comes to organic eggs and milk and cheese and all that other good stuff..are the chickens and cows treated any better? or is it just what they feed them that makes the food organic??
Just because the meat says organic doesn't mean they weren't caged in tight spaces. You want to look for packaging that says free range on it. Those animals are allowed to graze and are feed a good diet.
Organic production practices are both earth and animal friendly. Thanks to input from concerned consumers, American Humane Association (AHA) and the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), the National Organic Standards:
Require preventative health care practices such as adequate feed, nutritional supplements, sanitary housing and freedom of movement. Prohibit withholding medical treatment in cases of animal illness. Require access to outdoors and calls for conditions that accommodate the natural behavior of the animal.
Require appropriate clean and dry bedding.
Be careful to really get to know what is going on wherever you get your eggs. The label "free range" is allowed to be loosely used, legally, they can use this label even if the chickens are only allowed to roam for 5 minutes a day. The less stress an animal is under , the better their products will be for you.
Also, next year, a new regulation will pass in the senate in order to "authorize" GMO products as food.
It means, Organic label is becoming more and more a joke and it is more and more used by very large cooperation who has enough money to make some good lobbying in the congress.

Plz help me !!
Add 5 drops of propan-2-ol to 10 drops of sulphuric acid. Now add 2 drops of potassium dichromate solution and warm.
1.Note the smell and the color changes
2.Which reactant is oxidised in this reaction?
3.Name the organic compound formed and what homologous series does it belong to?
4.What would be the result if 2-methyl-propan-2-ol was reacted with acidified potassium dichromate ?
5.What other oxidising agents could be used for this reaction?
6.Oxidation of an alcohol produced 2-methylpropanoic acid. Name this alcohol
A lot of thanks plz help >.< !!!
1. Glue-like sweet smell of propanone. Colour changes from orange to green.
2. The propan-2-ol is oxidised.
3. Done. It's a ketone.
4. No change in colour. Tertiary alcohols cannot be oxidised in this way.
5. Acidified KMnO4.
6. 2-methyl propan-1-ol.
2. the one that will oxidized is the propan-2-ol (alcohol).
3. acetone (propanone) and it's a ketone
4. no reaction, tertiary alcohols are resistant to oxidation
5. acidified KMnO4 and other strong oxidizing agents
6. 2-methyl-1-propanol
Tampons-What makes organic tampons organic and do they work better than regular ones?
I've noticed in stores, more organic products. Well, I caught a glimps of a box that said organic tampons. What makes them organic and do they work better than regular tampax?
Are they bio-degradable and earth friendly?
If you use them, does it make you more green?
I'm all about being green and am even a vegitarian, do you recommend ways to become more green and natural?
As the other girl mentioned, organic tampons are probably made of organic cotton. Organic cotton is like a ZILLION times better for the environment than regular cotton. Cotton is a crop that has REALLY high pesticide use, so organic obviously, would be way better than that....
Tampax are a blend between rayon I think and cotton or just rayon? They're at least partially synthetic.
They may be more healthy to use but I think it's unlikely. Regular tampons are made out of rayon which is just paper in a textile form. I doubt that processed cellulose is somehow more hazardous than "natural" organically grown cotton that has been bailed and processed and transshipped.
I'm a vegetarian too and I try to live with less impact on the environment. :)
Can organic products/ingredients be sold under a normal label?
For instance, we all know that you cannot label something as "organic" without it being certified. My question is this...can a product have a normal line and an organic line that both conisist of organic ingredients? More specifically, can normal PAM contain organic ingredients without being labeled as organic? The purpose of doing so would be to steer customers towards the SAME product that has the organic label for a few more dollars.
yes, but with most things... there is an added expense to "organics" when dealing with things such as vegetables so it would be a cost disaster unless it was the same price as other sources.
And, as for PAM as your example, there is nothing 'natural' in there to begin with.
Has anyone tried the organic/ non-organic food detector made of coiled copper?
I found it in an organic store and the sales agent said that if you put it over food and it turns clockwise then it's organic. Counter clockwise then it's non-organic. Is this true?
Wow, the things people come up with to separate people from their money.
It's a complete scam and I would wonder about a store that carries such items. Either the owners do not understand what organic foods are or they are into ripping off their customers by selling such useless and likely expensive items. Either way I would find another health food store that is honest and knowledgeable
Just think why on earth would copper detect if the food is organic? Can it also detect if you are happy?
What are the best foods to buy organic?
We dont have lots of money but I would like to start eating more organic food. I already eat organic apples, organic mixed greens and organic peanut butter. What are the BEST foods to choose to eat organic. I heard milk and meat are good ones. Any others? I dont plan on eating everything organic but choosing the ones that are best bang for your buck.
Hey MissLiss,
I've heard meats and dairy since the fat in these foods tends to absorb more of the pestcides and growth hormones used in conventional farming. However, I've also started to use organic, unbleached flour in my baking and found that everyting I baked turned out nicer. Of course, organic fruits and veggies (when they're in season) are tastier and healthier. You might even find that there's a co-op organic farm nearby that you can get a membership tp for not too much money.
Can organic foods be proven scientifically they are organic or is this just an advertising gimick?
I have never seen any scientific evidence that organic foods are better. All I see is a lot of hype and a higher price tag.
Remember, I'm looking for scientific evidence, not just what people think.
organic foods dont have growth hormones in them, causing early puberty and metapause [spelling?]. other chemicals can cause brain damage, liver & kidney damage, and even some cases of learning disabilties. i grew up on organic milk because the cows arnt fed growth hormones to produce more milk and fruits & vegatables because they arnt sprayed with pesticides.
The labelling rules aren't that strict.
I too see a lot of hype and a much higher price tag.
Stuff grown/raised "organically" does not have a bunch of chemicals in it, so it would follow that it would be better for you, but I question "what went on before". If, say, you have 30+ years of eating stuff with chemicals in it, I can't see switching to organic is going to accomplish anything, the damage is done.
And, you are going to have to trust me here, you really don't want to know what kind of chemicals are in the food you eat every day.
In the past couple of years several peer reviewed studies have come out indicating certain organic foods are more nutritious than conventionally grown foods

How do you start an Organic Diet?
I've read that for some health conditions I have it would help if I started an organic diet. I know Whole Foods has organic food, but I'm not sure how to start this.
Do you do it gradually?
Are there organic versions of all kinds of foods?
Is it really easier on your liver?
Do you have to cook everything from scratch?
Are there any organic food restaurants in Chicago?
Has anyone switched over and have advice for a newbie?
Many grocery stores carry organic food. Most fruits and vegetables come in organic versions. You might want to look at farmers markets in your area - you can get fresh local produce at a better price.
One rule of thumb - fresher the better.
Second rule of thumb - the longer the produce has traveled, less likely it will be fresh!
I do not know if they are better for the liver. I know that organic food does not carry pesticide residues. It is also fresher, and tastes better. It is better for the environment.
It depends on what you mean by scratch. You can get many organic things frozen or even canned. But in general, the more "real" the food is, less additives in there. Generally stick to eating real food rather than synthetic food.
No advice. Just be prepared for a wallet shock. Also, you might want to look into organic ( or at least hormone free) milk. Buy local.
Good luck switching!
Can you taste the difference between organic and non organic food?
I had to do a science fair project on if you can tell the difference in taste between organic and non organic cookies. People could taste the difference between the Oreos and Newman O's so I was wondering if people have tasted the difference in other foods. Please don't tell me about how you think organic food is a scam. Thanks!
Organic means chemicals not used in production like fertilization or pesticides, only "natural". It doesn't really have a whole lot to do with taste if you're talking about fresh vegetables. However, if you're talking about processed food, all natural ingredients will affect taste. But the thing is, how does the consumer really know what they are eating has been producind all naturally? there's no way to know that no fertilizers or pesticides came in contact with foods or that in preparation all natural good were used. So someone could pay more but it might be just as healthy or not as healthy as the regular foods (i mean the food industry is made to eat, its washed/purified too). Its a matter of standards, and which brands/foods you trust
Why is there an organic layer in my tea?
I've noticed lately that when I'm drinking tea it often has a thin organic layer resting at the top. Does anyone know of any components in tea (black tea) that would produce that? I've checked for possible contaminants, but everything seems pretty clean. I drew it off the top once, and it does indeed mix with other non-polar solvents, so its likely organic.
Just thought maybe some of you organic chemistry wizards might have some insight on what it could be.
Likely just an oily type compounds from the actual tea leaves themselves. Much like the layer you see on soups with meat or chicken. Difference is simply plant oil versus meat oils (a.k.a. fat).
