Hybrid Fruits and Vegetables

Filed under: Diet — hygienehealth @ 5:38 pm

People familiar with natural hygiene and it’s premises know that a big part of the health maintaining magic of the body is due to the body having sufficient energy and resources to do the maintenance it needs. One of the best ways to get this energy and nutrition is with nature’s foods which are raw unadulterated fruits and vegetables. Nature has created these wonderful nutritious foods for our consumption (or vice versa). 

Many people proclaim that many of the fruits and vegetables that are available today for our consumption are severely hybridized. Hybridization is actually the production of crossbreeds between more than one plant. This is something that has occured all the time in nature even before there were humans walking the earth. In nature the pollen of one plant is often found on other plants and even the roots of plants can intermingle with each other.

Obviously humans have taken what nature has done and selected only the modifications that are preferred for economic and taste reasons and reproduce the fruits and vegetables that will yield the most and maintain the longest on the store shelf. Hybridization was originally performed by nature itself and not originally by humans.

The original banana was not created by humans at all but was a natural occurance. Almost every plant on earth has been hybridized to a certain extent. Eating a diet that includes a variety of fruits and vegetables will assure that you are getting a variety of nutrients in your diet. Restricting yourself to certain foods because they are known to be hybridized is not necessary as even the ones you do eat are probably still hybridized. Don’t worry about hybridized foods, leave the worrying for the GMO and other new technologies that do a lot more damage to the food than hybridization ever will.
