false. look for the logo, USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC, i'm not just talking about the term, loosely. i'm talking your food, everything you put in or on your body, you want that little white and green circular logo. take it very seriously. it's not perfect as i'm sure the organic food/items are now being more compromised than ever before but it's waaaaaaaaaaaay better/safer than the alternative. and since quitting all supplements (i was desperately trying to heal my fertility, desperately, and supplementing LIKE A MAD WOMAN 🤪💔) i have quit everything unless its in raw herbal form like powder or an organic tincture, weight has FALLEN off of me. i now believe the supplements HARMED my fertility and my body's ability to detox/regulate efficiently, i feel better now without them than i have in years...

If you'd been around when "organic" was a movement - of people with a passion for 'clean living' you'd have grounds for a qualified opinion as to what be "false" or true... because you would have been able to watch as the standards COLLAPSED thru each decade.

And while I sure wish you the best in your quest for better health, it's acutely ironic for veterans of what would become the "organic industry" to see the generations that followed giving naive nod to a logo that - in the latter part of the 25 year journey - became a joke to those in the know.

USDA ORGANIC had already - more than two decades ago - become as hollow a logo as "all natural ingredients" on a box. Old timers who remember the real players - like OCIA - knew how tough it was to get a real certification. Those days are gone, no matter how some may resent being told the truth.

i am sure you are right however when i was a child i was not in charge of how i ate and what i put into/on my body and it took some time for my awakening (when i was old enough/independant) which when it happened, this was what was available for me….however, i know it’s not perfect but it’s the best i can do for the times we are living in and i know based on experiences/observations of people around me, it is the better choice/option ☺️

I fully support your quest to find alternatives to what are now totally poison-based dietary "choices" which the vast majority are subject to. That said, it's better, imo, that people be aware that they are being lied to at every turn, by those who view you as nothing more than 'profit-centers' and/or victims of their 'human-modification' projects.

Too many of those who have turned to 'organic' foods have done so without being aware of how tricky the landscape has become - the link I provided above to genereaux's site was so as to give a particulary poignant example of how even with the best of intent, and superior research skills, a person can be still trapped by MONSTERCORP'S relentless intent to close all doors to healthy food consumption.
