Re: Conventional vs. Organic was Glucose or Adrenals

I think the chemical smell that people can detect on bananas comes

from the gassing that they do in the processing plants before

shipping. The gassing is to help them to ripen. I live in South

Florida and grow my own bananas and they do not have that smell.

Are you saying that the antibodies that show up in the blood are antibodies

to pesticide?

I don't know the answer to your question. I do know that people have reactions

to pesticides and that if someone is having problems eating a certain food, it

could be the pesticides that were used in growing the food rather than the food

itself.

I am stating from my experience only that it made a difference for me to switch

to organic foods instead of conventionally grown foods. I do , however, have

some foods that I cannot eat no matter if they are organic or not - I have

allergic reactions to them and have been tested and have antibodies.

I just wanted list members to consider the whole picture: the food as well as

how it is grown, shipped and handled. It may be the food itself or it may be

pesticides if conventionally grown that they are reacting to.
