Did you know that almost ALL vitamins and dietary supplements sold in North America are manufactured in China? - While vitamins are good for you, they may have been made in factories where standards are not as exacting as those in the US and Canada.
- We really do not know the true quality of the listed ingredients, or what else is there. Your best bet is to get vitamins directly from the foods you eat.
When Canadians ask for the origin of a particular food in the bulk section of their supermarket they will told that it comes from the United States. Not exactly.
- If you do a little research on your own you will discover that, although it has been IMPORTED FROM the United States, it has been GROWN elsewhere.
- There are large food importing companies that buy products from China, Vietnam, India, and other Asian and African countries, and then resell them to food markets in the US and Canada.
The label "organic" for Chinese food has to be taken on faith because that country does not allow western associations of organic products to check the conditions under which those foods are grown, irrigated, and harvested. For all you know, they could be irrigated with river water downstream from heavily polluting manufacturing plants.
- Unfortunately, even when organic food is indeed grown in the United States, it may have been irrigated with toxic fracking water. Read more about it here: http://ottersandsciencenews.blogspot.ca/2016/08/toxic-fracking-water-is-used-to.html
'Organic' from China exposed: The shocking truth about 'organic' foods grown in the world's worst environmental cesspool
By Mike Adams, Natural News
USDA organic standards place no limits on how much mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic and aluminium is allowed in so-called “organic” products imported from China.
Even further, there is no limit on the contamination of PCBs, BPA and other synthetic chemicals that’s allowed in certified organic foods, superfoods and supplements.
At this point, you’re probably shaking your head in disbelief and thinking, “No, that can’t be true. Organic standards must check for heavy metals and chemical contamination, right?”
No! “Organic” certifies a process of how food is grown or produced. It certifies that the farmer doesn’t add pesticides, herbicides, petroleum-based fertilizer, metals or synthetic chemicals to the crop (among other things), and it certifies that the soil must be free from such things for a certain number of years before organic certification is approved.
But organic certification does nothing to address environmental sources of pollution such as chemtrails, contaminated irrigation water, and fallout from industrial or chemical factories that might be nearby. A certified organic farmer can use polluted water on their crops and still have the crops labeled “organic.”
