those controversial videos. I like love and friendship and happiness. But it's

那些有關爭議的影片。我喜歡有愛和友誼還有幸福之類的

time for a bit of an educational rant because I just cannot take it anymore

但這次是有關教育性呼籲，因為我不能再忍受了

and it's a range from people who think organic rice krispies treats are better

這些範圍從有些人認為有機的米果比較好 （註：Rice Krispies是家樂氏出品的一種麥片）

to thinking that you have to eat 100% organic to be healthy. Healthy is

到有些人說你必須吃得百分之百有機才會健康。健康是

relative term and organic might not fit into everyone's life style and that's ok.

一個相對性的詞，有機可能不見得符合每個人的生活形式，但也沒關係

So let's talk about a few myths. Now I could literally give you an essay on

那我們就來談談一些迷思。我其實每個迷思都可以給你

each of these but I want to make it a digestible video so please if I miss a

一整篇的論文，但我想要讓這支影片對觀眾而言好消化，所以如果我有

note that you think is important

漏掉一些重點而你認為那很重要的

feel free to tactfully share it in the comments below. So first up is organic

歡迎在下面留言部分分享。所以第一個是

food is pesticide free. If food is labeled 100% organic that means if it is meat,

有機食物都沒有灑農藥。假如食物上有標示100%有機食品，代表著如果是肉類、

eggs, or dairy it is free of antibiotics and growth hormones. If it is prouduce

蛋類或乳製品，便沒有使用抗生素及生長激素。如果是農產品

it's grown with fertilizers and free of synthetic components and is non GMO. But

那就是使用肥料，不使用合成物質而且不是基改物

that doesn't mean that zero pesticides or herbicides are used or

但這不代表零農藥或零除草劑

that farms crops aren't exposed to pesticides even if its inadvertently. If

也不代表農作物沒有暴露在殺蟲劑之下，即使不是故意的

food is labeled with the USDA organic label then 95% of the ingredients must

如果食品上有美國農業部有機標籤，那95%的來源必須是

be organic, not 100%, 95. So that other 5% could be sprayed with pesticides and

有機的，但並非100%，是95%。所以其他5%可能灑有農藥且

even the 95% could be sprayed with pest controls or chemicals that the USDA "approves of"

原本的95%也可能是使用美國農業部所「核准」為對人類安全的

to be safe for humans even if they aren't safe for animals or bugs or

滅蟲藥物或化學物質，即使這些物質可能對動物、蟲子或雜草並不安全

weeds. If the label is "made with organic ingredients" it only requires 70%

假如標籤上寫著「有機原料製成」，那代表只有70%

of the content to be organic. So a bag of corn chips could be made with

的內容物需為有機。所以一袋玉米片可能是

organic corn but non

有機玉米製成，但

organic oil. So about 25% of a chip is oil and that means it's still meets the

卻包含非有機油。玉米片大約有25%是油製成，但這樣卻還是符合

standard to say "made with organic ingredients". So you really do need to

標準所言「有機原料製成」，所以你真的該

understand the different labels if you're concerned with things being

理解的不同認證，如果你對於有機物有所關注的話

organic. But do you need to be concerned? Now this video is not here to tell you

但你真的需要去注意這些事情嗎？這支影片並不是要告訴你

to not eat organic food or to eat organic food is just a debunk some of

別吃有機食品或該吃有機食品，而是想揭發

the myths flying around and discuss what's really going on.

漫天迷思的假面，以及討論事實

Organic food is expensive so if you choose to buy organic food, make sure

有機食品是很貴的，如果你選擇購買有機食品，確保

that it's worth your while. If organic food costed the same as conventionally grown food

你所花費是值得的。如果有機食品跟傳統方式栽種的食品價錢相同的話

sure, buy it organic! It isn't gonna hurt you but do you need it to be digging so deep in your wallet?

當然，買有機食品啦！這並沒有什麼大礙，但你真的需要從口袋掏這麼多錢嗎？

Maybe not. A few other myths: organic food is more nutritious. So actually there

或許不必然。其他的迷思：有機食品比較富有營養。事實上

isn't really much evidence showing that consuming organic food will lead to

並沒有太多證明顯示攝取有機食品會導向

improved health or lower risk of disease.

有益健康或減少得病風險

The occasional study here or there show that organic tomatoes have more vitamin

這裡有篇研究顯示，有機番茄含有較多維他命C之類的

C or something like that but overall nutrients aren't particularly different and

但總體營養物並無特別不同而且

the qualities that are different

品質不同之處

don't factor much into the nutritional quality. The truth is that the loss of

也不會影響營養品質太多。真相是，營養物的流失

nutrients is much more dependent on how long the produce is sitting out on the

是跟農產品在架上的時間比較有關

shelf. Which for organic food can be a long time because a lot of organic food is transported for long

而有機食品可能會花比較多時間，因為很多有機食品從遠處運來

distances. Remember organic does not mean local and local does not mean organic.

記住有機並不指本地，而本地也不代表有機

Another myth: organic food is better for the environment. So yes obviously keeping

另一個迷思：有機食品對環境生態比較好。所以沒錯，顯然維護

farmland free of pesticides is great but organic farming isn't as productive

農地免於殺蟲劑是好事，但有機農作生產力並不如

as conventional farming. It requires way more land

傳統農作。有機農作需要比傳統農作還高出許多的

to produce the same amount of food and many organic farms still do use some

土地來生產相同產量，而許多有機農場還是會使用殺蟲劑

pesticides if they can keep it under that 95% seal. Another one: organic food tastes

只要他們能維持在規範的95%標準即可。另一項迷思：

better. So most studies actually say no. Most people can't tell the

有機食品比較好吃。大部分研究顯示並非如此，大部分的人們分不出差別

difference. I personally do notice a bit of a difference with a few things. So

我個人是有注意到些微不同。像是

berries, strawberries, spinach, tomatoes, those are things I can tell a difference

莓果、草莓、菠菜、番茄等等，都是我能嘗出不同的食物

with but in all fairness it happened over time. When I was eating a diet that was

但平心而論過了一段時間才會發覺不同。當我以前在吃

mostly made of processed food I couldn't tell the difference. Now that I eat a primarily

多為加工食品的餐點時，便無法分辨差異。現在我吃的是原始

whole foods diet with a lot of fruits and vegetables, my palate has adjusted a

的全食，有很多蔬果，我的味蕾已經不同（註：「全食」是指沒有（或很少）經過加工和精緻的食物）

bit and there are some organic pieces of produce that I can tell a difference

而我便能嘗出餐點中有機農產品的不同

with but it depends on what it is and where you get it. That being said

但這取決於是什麼食物跟你如何取得。也就是說

remember that not all organic farms are the tiny local farms run by the

記得，不是所有有機農場都是本地的小農場

wonderful people that you encounter at your farmers market. There are many there are

由你家附近菜市場的好心的人們所經營的

huge and the conditions aren't really much better than the conventional farms. When

有很多大型有機農場其實並沒有比傳統農場來得好

I'm at the store I personally try to go for local before I go for organic even

當我去商店時，比起有機食品，我個人會選擇本地食品

if the local food isn't certified organic it often is still grown with

即使本地食品並沒有被有機認證，但卻仍是以有機方式栽種

organic conditions but the local places can't afford the certification. It's best

因為當地可能無法負擔認證費用

to ask where the produce is coming from like we talked about in my farmers

最好的方法是問問農產品的來源地，就像我們在影片中所討論我家附近的菜市場

market video. I also try to go by "the clean 15" and "the dirty dozen" which are

我也會試著以「乾淨15」以及「髒污12」清單來選擇

lists that tell you which produce have the most or least pesticides. I will buy the

它們能告訴你哪些農產有最多或最少的農藥殘留

dirty dozen foods more often organic or local then I will the clean 15 and I will

我比較常買髒污12中的有機或是本地的食物，才買乾淨15的

link both of those lists in the description box below.

我會下方更多資訊中附上兩個清單的連結

Now onto the real fun, processed organic foods.

真正有趣的來了，加工有機食品

So organic Oreos, organic rice krispie treats, organic Cheetos, organic

有機奧利奧、有機米果點心、有機的奇多、有機麥片

cereal, organic gummies... It's ALL CRAP! I hate to break it to you but organic doesn't mean healthy or even

有機小熊軟糖……都是垃圾食物！我不想替你們打破這些幻想，但有機並不代表健康

less processed. An organic chip is just as processed as a non-organic chip. It has

甚至是少加工的。有機洋芋片在製造時和一般的洋芋片一樣

just as many calories and fat as the non-organic chip but it costs three times

有一樣多的卡路里和脂肪，但卻要價三倍之多

more. Nutritionally it is not doing anything for your body. Processed foods are

營養層面來說，也不會對身體有任何助益。加工食品

not fuel. Whether they are organic or not. So what am I trying to say? Don't

不是燃料。不論它們有不有機。所以我想說的是什麼呢？

waste your money on organic processed snack foods and if you're thinking duhhhh

不要浪費你的錢在有機加工零食上，而如果你覺得「呃我當然知道啊！」

hear me out because studies show that most people do think that organic

聽我說完，因為研究顯示，多數人還真的認為

cookies and snacks are healthier and less calories and fat. That's not how it works.

有機餅乾跟零食是比較健康，低脂和低卡路里。道理不是這樣的！

Organic doesn't mean anything when it comes to processed foods. If you're someone

有機在加工食品上是沒有任何意義的。如果你是個

who buys organic processed foods my advice to you stop worrying so much about organic

買有機加工食品的人，我的建議是別擔心有不有機了

start trying to wean off of the processed snacks. If you wanna buy organic produce if it

試著戒斷加工零食。如果你一定得買有機農產品才覺得安心

makes you feel better go for it but don't convince yourself that the processed

那就買吧，但別想說服自己有機加工食品

organic snacks are any better for you. Remember they are not food as fuel

對你的身體比較好。記得它們是食物，不是燃料

choices. If you really want to make efforts to be healthier consider trying

如果你真的想要吃得比較健康，可以考慮

to get more whole foods into your daily diet. So I will conclude my rant there. Again

把全食納入你的飲食當中。所以，我會總結我的呼籲。再次申明

this is not an anti-organic video, it is simply an it is how it is video. We are

這不是支反有機的影片。只是想要呈現本是如何的影片

redefining health here and I think it's important that we get rid of the stigma

我們在此重新定義健康，而我也認為擺脫這種

that you can't be healthy if you're not organic. It would be safer and easier

「你一定要吃的有機，才能活得健康」的汙名很重要。老實說

frankly for me to come on this channel and tell you to eat organic even if I

在這個頻道叫你們吃的有機還比較簡單跟安全，就算我自己不相信

didn't believe it because I'd get less hate, but the truth is it's important for

因為我會得到比較少謾罵，但我告訴你們事實是很重要的

me to tell you that I don't eat all organic food and that you don't need to

我不全吃有機食品而且你也不必

feel discouraged about your journey if you can't buy organic food because that's ok.

因為你不能買有機食物而感到氣餒，這是沒關係的

You're still doing a great job and your body appreciates your hard work and I

你還是很棒，你的身體會感謝你的努力

appreciate you and I love you. I hope you guys have a great wonderful fantastic day and

而我也很感謝你們跟愛你們。希望你們大家能有個完美的一天跟這周剩下很棒的日子

rest of your week and I will see you tomorrow for a very special collaboration video

我們明天見時會有一個特別的合作影片

so be sure to come back

所以記得要回來看喔
