I'm actually surprised it's that low!

Wouldn’t some of the samples tested include uncertified or certified organics? There are many smaller farmers who don’t use these toxic chemicals, but just can’t afford the costs of getting organic certified. I have spoken to many of them at my local farmers market. Besides the fees (pic attached) there are other fees on top of that. It is hardly worth it for farmers to pay to get so closely scrutinize so they can charge a little more.


“Costs Don't Stop Following Certification
There can be many other costs beyond your actual organic application. For example, during the certification process, you may have to pay for inspections, assessments, and travel costs for your agent. In addition, there are ongoing annual renewal fees for as long as you hold your certification.”

“Most people are surprised to hear about the systematically harmful effects of the common dietary polyunsaturated fats and the protective effects of saturated fats. That's because there is a pervasive mythology of fats in our culture. Officials are proposing to tax saturated fats. Laws are being passed prescribing the fats that can be served in restaurants, and people write letters to editors about them, and great amounts of money are spent publicizing the importance of eating the right fats. Their focus is on obesity, atherosclerosis, and heart disease. The details of the myth change a little, as new fat products and industries appear.” -Ray Peat

The American government is either really ignorant, happy to kill some people off or they are bought off to turn a blind eye to allow our food chain to be poisoned like it is. I vote it is all three of those reasons.

“A wide range of inflammatory mediators that accelerate inflammation and bone loss also inhibit thyroid function. People who ate more polyunsaturated fat, which inhibits thyroid and oxidative metabolism, were several times more likely to have osteoporotic fractures (that is, essentially spontaneous fractures) than people who ate the least (Martinez-Ramirez, et al., 2007).” -Ray Peat

“The mothers blamed the day-and-night spraying of soy fields the size of several soccer pitches not far from their homes. "When we started protesting 20 years ago, they called us names, saying we were just a couple of crazy mothers who had let the cleaning product go to their heads," Herrera said. "But, when they tested the tap water here, we knew we were being poisoned: They found a cocktail of bad sulfates, heavy metals, arsenic and lead."
In the neighborhood, every family has a story to tell: of leukemia, thyroid disease, asthma, kidney malfunction, neurodermatitis and miscarriages that they blame on this poisonous cocktail. Eventually, Herrera and the other mothers were able to force a court ruling that herbicides could only be sprayed at a distance of at least 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) from residential buildings. A farmer and a pilot of a herbicide-spraying aircraft were even found guilty of spraying illegally near residential areas.“

“Oxalate and its acid form oxalic acid are organic acids that are primarily from three sources:
Diet & food, Fungus such as aspergillus, penicillium and candida, and also from human metabolism; bacteria produce Oxalates from the oxidation of carbohydrates.

Oxalic acid is the most acidic organic acid in body fluids and is used commercially to remove rust from car radiators. Substances like antifreeze (ethylene glycol) is toxic primarily because it is converted to oxalate. Oxalates may also function as chelating agents and may chelate many toxic metals such as mercury and lead. Unlike other chelating agents, oxalates trap heavy metals in the tissues.

Oxalic acid undergoes many conversions depending on the acidity of the environment in which it is present. Cooking has a relatively small impact on the oxalate content of foods. However, plant foods containing oxalic acid should not be cooked in un-coated copper, iron or aluminium pot or pan because the oxalic acid will react with the metal ions and turn foods bad. When using aluminium, the acids in this food may allow potentially toxic quantities of aluminium ions to leach from the cookware. Oxalic Acid also chemically blocks Iron and Calcium absorption by the body.“
