偏好深青蔬菜或營養失調 dark green vegetables - nutritional disorders

Dark green vegetables contain high N. Long term consumption not good for health, especially Nitrite can cause cancel. Read news below for detail :

星洲日報／大都會•2009.12.04

（雪蘭莪•烏魯音）烏魯音菜區農鮮蔬有限公司董事主席陳來安提醒公眾，偏好深青色蔬菜可能會造成營養失調，使人體出現慢性疾病。

他說，台灣著名土壤與有機農業推廣人王鐘和博士最近訪問大馬時強調，優質葉類蔬菜的合理顏色，應該是翠綠色而不是深青色。

含氮素營養過高
“顏色過青的蔬菜，一般含氮素(N)營養過高，長期食用對人體會造成不利後果，尤其亞硝酸鹽(nitrite)是造成癌症的導因之一。”

陳來安表示，有機種植專家在台灣非常重視農民使用氮素肥料的後果，盡可能避免蔬菜的硝態營養含量過高。

他表示，氮素營養雖然是製造蛋白質的來源，但已有專家建議，病人因鈣質不足所引發的疾病，可能與服食太多氮素營養有關，而呼吁民眾多重視營養平衡，避免單一營養過量。

也是台灣屏東國立科技大學副教授王鐘和博士，是在11月7至14日之間，應馬來西亞菜農總
會的邀請，與屏大副校長梁文進一同訪問大馬。

大馬農民偏向施放氮素肥料
根據王鐘和博士在本地考察蔬菜園地之後的總結，大馬農民偏向施放氮素肥料，喜愛根據市場偏好，將蔬菜種得深深的青色，但卻忽視深青蔬菜，其實對人體不利，菜農也罔顧氮素肥料對土壤的破壞，以至大馬大部份菜園都有肥害跡象。

他說，土壤是農作物的“媽媽”，如果不能保持土壤的活性和肥力，不但農民種不出好作物，國家農業發展前景也會受到牽扯。因此，大馬蔬菜生產業要做得好，首先要解決的問題，就是搞好土壤，而不是胡亂施肥，根據市場導向種植深青色蔬菜。

HARI ORGANIC 5/Dec/09

CETDEM (The Centre For Environment, Technology & Development, Malaysia) , an NGO that always promotes sustainable development have successfully organized the HARI ORGANIC again today.

The aim of the HARI ORGANIK is to create public awareness on the goodness of organic food, to promote the “eat local & buy local” concept with the final objective to combat global warming by encouraging every one to GO VEG, BE GREEN.

Alert to ORGANIC FARMERS

Organic farmer have to be careful with organic fertilizer available in the market. It may contained prohibited organic substances and heavy metal!

Below are some of the references :

1. News published by RODALE INSTITUTE (Leader in organic solutions since 1947) :
   Organic fertilizer may be organic, or it might be a residual suprise .................Under Association of American Plant Food Control Officials definitions the word "organic" has more to do with organic chemistry (presence of carbon) then with organic agriculture. It allows use of the word "organic" on fertilizer that may contain urea, sewage sludge (biosolids) and other substances prohibited under US Organic Program regulations............
   
   
2. Journal Article from SpringerLink:
   Heavy metal contaminants in inorganic and organic fertilizers
   Increased concern about the entry of various heavy metals into the human food chain has occurred in recent years, and all aspects of agricultural production and food processing are being examined. Cadmium (Cd) is the heavy metal of most interest because potentially
   it may be harmful to human health. Therefore, we are giving more attention to its avenues of entry into the human food chain. Among these avenues is the Cd component of P fertilizers and sewage biosolids applied to agricultural lands. While animal manures
   also contain Cd and other heavy metals......
   
   
3. Article from The Organic Consumers Association (online NPO for health, justice, and sustainability in the US on promoting the views and interests of the organic and socially responsible consumers)
   Organic Fertilizer or Toxic Sludge?
   .... Unfortunately, however, GMOs, irradiated foods, and sewage sludge - although banned under National Organic Standards - have fast become the norm in industrial agriculture and conventional food processing. If you read the essays and news articles on this page, you'll understand why OCA is concerned and alarmed about sewage sludge, and why we're determined to replace sludge with truly organic composting practices. OCA will be educating and mobilizing its national network and calling on federal and state governments to classify sewage sludge as hazardous waste, to ban its application on farms and ranches, and stop allowing sludge companies to market it as "organic" fertilizer. As an alternative to sewage sludge and polluting and climate destabilizing chemical fertilizers, OCA is determined to make safe, productive, greenhouse gas-sequestering organic composting the norm in US and global agriculture and gardening, and not simply the green alternative.

DANGER OF ANIMAL MANURE & SEWAGE SLUDGE

Some interesting information we should know!

Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, Why You Should Care?
... According to the CDC, manure can contain pollutants such as antibiotics, pathogens, nitrates, pesticides, hormones, trace elements and heavy metals, none of them good, especially if they enter the drinking water. In May 2000 an e-coli contamination of the municipal water system of Walkerton, Ontario Canada killed seven and sickened thousands. It was traced to manure runoff....... CAFOs are said to be an efficient cost effective farming system; (if one ignores the cost to the environment, animals living in unnatural conditions, potential for pollution and possible human health concerns). They are necessary only as long as we demand large amounts of grain fed meat, dairy and eggs. If cheap food is the only priority, they meet the challenge. Most consumers happily hunt for bargains never questioning the production practices that made the bargains, bargains.......

Is the environment responsible for Mad Cow disease and its human counterpart?
...That conference is all about manganese, a heavy metal, that is essential to life and is part of the daily diet--for example, wheat, rice and tea provide the metal--but numerous studies show that environmental overexposure to it can be dangerous to the nervous system.... In short: The high doses of organophosphates that were poured on the cows' spines and poisoned the bodies decreased the amount of copper in cells. The feed given to animals in the '80s contained high amounts of manganese, some of it derived from chicken manure of chickens fed high doses of manganese to strengthen egg shells. Supplemental powders and mineral licks with manganese were sometimes added to feed troughs. The depletion of copper and the high manganese changes normal prions to abnormal, thus setting the stage for disease....

Organic Fertilizer or Toxic Sludge
...Scientific evidence has confirmed that municipal sewage sludge contains hundreds of dangerous pathogens, toxic heavy metals, flame-retardants, endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, pharmaceutical drugs and other hazardous chemicals coming from residential drains, storm water runoff, hospitals, and industrial plants. ...

Toxic Sewage Sludge in Your Food
...The increasing use of sewage sludge as fertilizer for your food is an under-publicized and often hidden threat... scientific analysis of the poisons in sewage sludge shows it's the wrong, and dangerous, solution for U.S. farmers and communities. Unfortunately, many American farmers and gardeners are unknowingly using sludge-derived "compost," which is given away free in many cities throughout the United States....

Sewage Sludge is Being Dumped on (Non-Organic) Farms All over the US
..The stuff smelled a bit like ammonia, but the phosphorus, nitrogen and organic matter would boost yields on this 50-acre field from 140 bales of hay this year to 200, maybe 250 in 2004. It's also full of soil-enriching organic matter. And the fertilizer, all 600 tons of it, was free .... Recycling sewage sludge on fields has become the disposal method of choice for most of the 15,000 municipal waste water plants across the United States. More than 60 percent of the 5.6 million dry tons of sludge produced nationally ends up on fields - 3.4 million tons total, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.... "I couldn't operate if I had to buy commercial fertilizer," Salzar said, noting the difference would be thousands of dollars each year, his margin between profit and loss....But the report stopped short of linking land-applied sewage sludge, often called biosolids, with any specific health problems... "Nobody likes sewage sludge, just as nobody likes pollution," Richardsadded. "It's just that some people are unjustly profiting from it at the expense of everyone and everything else, especially our soils and waters.".....

Cattle feed now contains things like manure
... to determine how E. coli bacteria had tainted the hamburger... To trim costs, many farmers add a variety of waste substances to their livestock and poultry feed-and no one is making sure they are doing so safely. Chicken manure in particular, which costs from $15 to $45 a ton in comparison with up to $125 a ton for alfalfa, is increasingly used as feed by cattle farmers despite possible health risks to consumers. .... more and more farmers are turning to chicken manure as a cheaper alternative to grains and hay..... Chicken manure often contains campylobacter and salmonella bacteria, which can cause disease in humans, as well as intestinal parasites, veterinary drug residues, and toxic heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury. These bacteria and toxins are passed on to the cattle and can be cycled to humans who eat beef contaminated by feces during slaughter....

Why Feeding Chicken Manual and Slaughterhouse Waste to Cow is a bad Idea
...agricultural societies, have always fed waste products to livestock. On diversified farms, pigs and chickens get lots of kitchen scraps and "culls"--produce that can't be sold. And it's worthwhile to keep cows around if you have access to pasture--cows convert a wild, low-input perennial crop (grass), which humans can't digest, into highly nutritious beef and milk.....

URGENT MESSAGE : Global warming calls for immediate action from every one of us

Our current course of climate change is worse than the worst case scenario projected by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)，with the damaging and often fatal effects already being seen through such extreme events as hurricanes，flooding，droughts and heat waves.

Even if the world reduces greenhouse gas emissions，the planet will take time to recover from the gases already in the atmosphere.

This is why it is necessary to focus on short-lived gases，namely methane. Methane traps at least ７２ times more heat than CO２，averaged over a ２０ year period. Methane's biggest source is the livestock industry，which is indeed one of the top causes of global warming that must be stopped.

Current critical condition of our planet calls for immediate and wise action from every one of us.
