Which would you eat if you were trying to build muscle... ๐Ÿ‘ˆLeft or Right๐Ÿ‘‰?

The big takeaway here is that the WHOLE is greater than the sum of its parts.๐Ÿฅš

Often in nutrition today, we come from a very reductionistic approach where we try to isolate nutrients and hope they work the same in the body...๐Ÿคž

But what we usually find out is they donโ€™t.๐Ÿ‘Ž

You can see examples of this in research of things like:

๐Ÿฅ•Beta-carotene vs eating a carrot
๐ŸŸFish oil vs eating whole fish
๐ŸณEgg whites vs whole eggs (as shown above)
โž•And on and on!

The synergy that whole foods have to offer is a crucial element of the beautiful way that a food can nourish us...

So while there is a time and a place for supplementation, the benefits of whole foods are unparalleled.๐ŸŒŸ

Great, short read which explains Apeel.

If it is put on organic produce, not sure how it would still be organic?

We've seen a lot of people freaking out about the new Apeel coating again, so we dug into the research. Here's what you need to know....

The intention behind it is good. Produce often has to travel great distances and remaining fresh is an issue. This coats the produce very lightly with an emulsifier that sort of 'seals' the original peel, reducing oxidation and spoilage. Kind of like how an egg that isn't washed has a natural coating that protects it.

Of course, fruit peels don't naturally have this. They add mono- and di-glycerides as the coating.

Mono- and di-glycerides are already found in the food supply in many places. They are made from highly processed fatty acids and glycerin, and are used to lengthen shelf life and improve texture in many products (especially dairy -- check your cream labels).

Looking at published studies, of the emulsifiers in food, this is one of the less-bad ones. Others definitely promote inflammation and disturb gut health. This one seems to not hurt gut flora -- as far as we know *now,* but there isn't a lot of research into this yet. (Other emulsifiers, like polysorbate 80, definitely do damage.)

Right now, this coating is on apples, limes, and avocados in the US. Yes, it can be used on organic produce. Yes, you can scrub to try to remove it -- and with heavy scrubbing and soap, you could remove some. But it's such a thin coating that it's unlikely you would be able to remove all of it.

Is this something to freak out about?

No, I wouldn't freak out. This isn't adding anything to the food supply that isn't already there; it's just putting it in some new places.

Would I buy produce that has it?

No...if I knew it was there, I would opt not to buy it.

It's unclear if it's labeled or not. Likely, sometimes it is, but other times it isn't. The only way to 100% avoid it is to talk to the producer...buy local...or grow your own. If you can't do that, you can peel the produce before consumption.

We hope this helps!

Also, it has been brought to our attention that these retailers will NOT be selling anything with APEEL:

-Driscoll's
-Publix
-Wholesum
-AZURE standard

While these retailers ARE selling products with APEEL:

-Natureโ€™s Pride (a large importer of Europeโ€™s avocados)
-Sage Fruit Co. (Washington State organic apple producer)
-Del Monte (avocados)
-Eco Farms (avocados)
-Del Rey (avocados)
-Horton Fruit Company (avocados)
-RV Aguacates (avocados)
-Alpine Fresh (asparagus)
-Beta (asparagus)
-Farm Direct Supply (asparagus)
-La Venta (asparagus)
-SiCar Farms (limes)

Apeel is (or will be) available at the following grocers:

-Costco
-Trader Joes
-Gelsons
-Ralphs
-Sprouts
-Vons
-Walmart
-Whole Foods
-Kroger
-Harps Foods
-Wakefern
-Price Right
-Fairway Market
-Target
-Bristol Farms and more
