Hey folks, Dr. Bob McCauley, organic versus conventional clorella, which is better. I'm going to answer that one for you. Organic versus conventional clorella, well, this could apply to spirulina as well because they have the same inputs or what we call ingredients in the normal world, but in the clorella world and the spirulina world you call them inputs. What are they grown with? So which is better? To get that little circle there, that USDA on there, that's so important to a lot of people. They want to make sure they've just got no herbicides, pesticides or anything else in there. And that's important. When I buy fruit in the store, let me tell you something. I always buy organic because that's what they really spray the crap out of. It's fruit and more than anything else. Things like asparagus, they don't spray very much, avocados, they don't spray very much, blueberries, they spray the crap out of them. So you know, it's like that. But when it comes down to clorella, what's the truth? Do you want organic? Is it worth the money or is it conventional? So the clorella has to grow on something or be fed something for it to grow on the other like any other plant on planet Earth. It needs some fertilizer. So what's in there? Potassium, magnesium, nitrogen, which comes from urea, it's all natural. And then there's one more. Acetic acid, that's the really big thing that defines whether it's going to be grown organically or considered organic or whether it's going to be called conventional. So what do you find to see to cast? Well, I got some apple cider vinegar here. Everyone knows this. This is just the sepans that be brags. I'm not promoting anybody here. But if you're going to get apple cider vinegar and I have some every single day I take this, I put it in my salad. I put a bunch of herbs in it. It sits there for six months or a year, sometimes longer. And it gets all those flavors in there. I put this on my salad every single month, every single night because this has acetic acid. And it's really good for your digestion. Some people say, well, it's hard to prove that. I always feel better with it. But it's really good for stabilizing your blood sugar and everything. This is an incredible stuff. Acetic acid, you find that in vinegar naturally. Well, if you want to grow chlorella naturally, you're going to have to use vinegar or vinegar derivative to get the organic side of a acetic acid. And there's another form of it that's not organic. It's just all natural. But it doesn't come from vinegar. So because of the crazy rules, we live under when it comes to organic certification. And we're really living under, I want to understand, agriculture rules. And this is not agriculture. This is aquaculture. We're growing in water. So the same rules really shouldn't apply, but they do anyway. Because who set the rules? Well, the FDA and one size fits all. So honestly, the acetic acid that you're going to put into conventional chlorella, it comes from a natural source, but it doesn't come from vinegar. They can't trace it back. So now you can suddenly, oh, you can't call it organic. Oh, so you've got to grow with this vinegar. And it's really vinegar. They take the acetic acid out of the vinegar like that. Very expensive process. Really drives the cost up. But then you get your little symbol. And that's what so many people really want. The same is true, like I said, same is absolutely true for sparylina. And sparylina, some companies actually replace that acetic acid as something else. And so it's really cheap. It gives it kind of a funny taste, but it's a very good quality. And that's what we're looking here. What is the quality? Well, let me tell you something. The difference between these two, organic and conventional, is like this. Zero percent. Nothing. The taste is the same. The nutritional value is the same. The nutritional components are the same. Nothing's different. It's just that acetic acid that they put in there. And the source of that acetic acid, which is, you know, really gives us so much trouble when we're trying to produce organic chlorella. I've mentioned in previous videos, one thing you really want to look for very carefully is, and you can look these companies up on the internet. Do they have organic certification? You know, I mean, I'll put the link at the bottom here. There's ways to look this up. You say, actually, they got organic certification. A lot of companies, you know, they're buying stuff from China. They go start looking up the company. They don't have organic certification. They don't have USDA, NOP, which is National Organic Program. No. They don't have that. And suddenly, you see, oh, they've got it. But wait a minute. Wait a minute. It's not crop. It's handling. They have handling certification. They don't have crop certification. You got to grow your chlorella or whatever else you're having to be, whatever crop you're growing, and you know, you grow it organically. And then you got to be able to handle it. Well, everybody has got crop as handling, but not everybody who has handling has crops. In other words, they can buy that chlorella from China. And it could be conventional. Then it could handle it organically, and then, you know, oh, suddenly it's organic. So you got to be careful there. And of course, you go look up these companies. You're going to find out a lot of them from China. Well, they're not on there. They're just selling it organically. So anyway, that's the point. Is this being grown organically or is it grown conventionally? Well, there is a difference. This is using the Acetic Acid from Vinegar. This one is not, but what is the end product? It's absolutely the same. I'd be lying to you if I told you anything different. The taste isn't different. The nutritional value isn't different. There is no difference in the end product. It's just that Acetic Acid. That's the bottom line. Oh, by the way, hey, Dr. Bob, which one do you take? I just told you what you want to take. It doesn't matter. To be honest with you, I'm usually taking the conventional. It's cheaper. See you next time. I hope you like these videos. You know, it's all about education for me and getting information out there about the two most powerful foods in the world, spray-leaf and clorella, and how to live an incredibly natural, healthy lifestyle. See you guys next time.
