To My Canadian friends and colleagues

Thanks for your hospitality last week while I was in Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg. Everyone was very friendly and courteous. I appreciate your being willing to share your time with me and to discuss nutritional issues.

If any of you will be in Vancouver at Expo West in May, please come see me on Friday morning for the organic program http://honestnutrition.blogspot.com/2010/04/neil-to-speak-at-organic-program-in.html
and also at the Puresource booth. I look forward to seeing you!

PLAYING WITH OUR FOOD: NUTRIENT DIFFERENCES OF ORGANIC, CONVENTIONAL AND BIOTECH (GMO) CROPS

By Neil E. Levin, CCN, DANLA

The method by which similar types of crops are grown - organic, conventional or genetically engineered (GE, biotech, GMO) – can produce food with different nutritional profiles. Are organics really no more nutritious than conventionally grown crops? Do currently grown biotech foods really provide more nutrients than similar types of conventional foods? What do we know about the heavy metal content of foods grown by different methods? Are USDA food nutrient tables even accurate in this era of changing agricultural practices? Learn the secrets of how our foods are changing, for better or for worse.
