The certification involves annual
inspections and periodic GMO testing. The USDA organic certification also prohibits arsenic, lead salts, potassium chloride, sodium nitrate, tobacco dust, and other substances and practices [1]. What Does GMO Mean?Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are initially created in a lab through a process called genetic engineering. This advanced technology takes DNA
from one organism and moves it into another organism to create versions of animals and plants that aren’t present in nature. GMO doesn’t mean plant crossbreeding; rather, it
refers to technologies and methodologies like gene-splicing. GMOs are animals or plants whose genes have been mutated or modified resulting in an organism that doesn’t naturally occur. The goal is often to obtain a new and desirable trait, such as herbicide resistance or the ability to grow to larger sizes in poor weather conditions. One of the main reasons behind the creation of some of the most widely used GMO crops today, such as soy and wheat, is to create a crop that’s
more resistant to pesticides and herbicides. For example, the Roundup-ready GMO soybean was created to withstand the Roundup herbicide so that farmers could spray Roundup across fields to kill weeds, pests, and insects without harming the plant. Not all foods have been genetically modified, but some are more likely to be GMO than others. If you’re trying to avoid GMOs, keep in mind that the foods most likely to be GMO include edamame, corn, yellow squash, and papaya from China or Hawaii, so you might want to buy those organic.
Unless a person follows a high-protein version of keto, protein is kept moderate while fats are always high (about 55-60% of your total calories). [1] On top of these macros, clean keto emphasizes the consumption of whole foods or minimally processed foods. Processed foods are still allowed, but only occasionally—since some people can’t stick to a clean diet 100% of the time. We’ve previously discussed the differences between clean keto and dirty keto in case you’re still deciding which approach to use as a beginner. While the dirty keto diet can still result in ketosis and weight loss (at least in the short term), clean keto is better for the following reasons:Micronutrient DensityYour bodycannot produce micronutrients—vitamins and minerals—which is why you need to get them from food. Whole foods are the best sources of micronutrients. On the other hand, food processing leads to the loss of certain nutrients which are highly sensitive, such as ascorbic acid, folic acid, and thiamin. [2] Skin HealthHighly processed foods contain harmful ingredients like added sugars and trans fats. Consuming them repeatedly can negatively affect your skin health in different ways. For example, added sugars break down collagen, making your skin vulnerable to aging. [3] A study also shows that consuming trans fatty acids increases your risk of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) skin damage.
