One man's 3-year experiment in eating organic food - all the time
- likpok 18y agoOne problem with his health is that he has significantly adjusted his diet, in addition to switching to organic food. This makes the conclusions about his health very suspect (Especially as Americans eat too much meat and not enough fruits/veggies/grains, IIRC).
- teuobk 18y agoExactly. Unfortunately, I doubt that a proper controlled, double-blind study would be practical for this amount of time.
- sidsavara 18y agoIt's an interesting idea, but the article doesn't really give any details except that he wakes up earlier, feels like he has more energy (very subjective, as they don't back this up with any facts) and his urine is brighter yellow. I wish this had been a better article, but still a nice find. Perhaps they are saving the details for the book.
- qqq 18y agoI thought urine yellowness had to do with how much water you drank, so it's more or less diluted.
- sidsavara 18y agoWell there's how clear it is, and then perhaps the shade of yellow? I agree that whether it is dark or clear depends on how much water is drank.
- bd 18y agoIt seems he is overdosing on vitamins. Yellowing/light Orange may be caused by removal of excess B vitamins from the bloodstream. "Fluorescent Yellow / Greenish urine may be caused by dietary supplemental vitamins, especially the B vitamins." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine#Unusual_coloration http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine#Unusual_coloration
- shadytrees 18y ago> His urine is a brighter yellow, a sign that he is ingesting more vitamins and nutrients. Other, equally scientific explanations: He's happier. He's drinking more sunshine juice. The yellow humors are growing.
- umjames 18y agoOther, equally scientific explanations: He's happier. He's drinking more sunshine juice. The yellow humors are growing. Sunshine juice? Do you mean Sunny D? I don't think that's organic :) I always thought the yellow urine was a sign of too much salt and not enough water in your system. Isn't clear, water-like urine the optimal case?

- petercooper 18y agoFruits, vegetables and animals can be 100 percent organic. As opposed to fruit, vegetables and animals that are not entirely derived from living organisms?
- petercooper 18y agoJust in case anyone's still confused, yes, fruit, vegetables and animals are living organisms ;-)
