What is your objective when you shop for food to feed your family? Do you consider product labels? What is your most important consideration – Nutritional value, cost, taste, kids will eat it, brand, etc.?
More and more folks are starting to understand the better overall value is actually nutrient-dense foods vs. processed foods from GMO grains (which is in about 95% of products on grocery store shelves). Here is a table comparison that Dr. Don Huber shared a few years ago at the Grassfed Exchange Conference regarding nutrient density of Iowa corn in 2012:
Nutrient GMO Non-GMO
Glyphosate 13 0
Formaldehyde 200 0
Test Weight 57.5 61.5
Nitrogen 7 46
Phosphorus 3 44
Potassium 7 113
Calcium 14 6130
Magnesium 2 113
Sulphur 3 42
Manganese 2 14
Iron 2 14
Zinc 2.3 14.3
Copper 2.6 16
Cobalt 0.2 1.5
Molybdenum 0.2 1.5
Boron 0.2 1.5
Selenium 0.6 0.3
Chlorine 10 1
Now, if there was only a way to convert nutrient density into a dollar value to show Mom’s that from a nutritional perspective the Non-GMO product is actually the best dollar value (kinda like which size can is the lower unit cost)! I wonder if families would eat less Non-GMO food because their bodies communicate they have received enough nutrition?
