Natural vs Organic. Is there any difference?

People confuse

Many people often confuse between “natural” and “organic” Some products which are claimed natural however when you check their ingredients actually containing disastrous chemicals. Some followers ask to ban or to tell people about some of giant company’s products which claim “natural” in their products. However the most important for us is to realize the difference between these two words and help it spread over!

Consumers are often misled or misinformed about the difference between these two words which always being advertise anywhere in media.  Basically you have to notice few things when buying products either food, health products or anything that ecogreen4us is listing here and going to list in the future.

Thus be careful when you see products labels mention these words;

• Natural
• All Natural
• 100% natural or
• Some natural products.

What you have to do is simply IGNORE THESE LABELS and check again their ingredients.

The FDA

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) never regulate any claims of "all natural" or "natural vs. organic". Perhaps they do in some of their articles but in reality, they don't.
The fact that is any companies can get away with using all sorts of non-natural processes and chemical ingredients in their products that they claim is all natural.

What does ‘natural’ means?

According to arcdictionary.com
Definition: Fixed or determined by nature; pertaining to the constitution of a thing; belonging to native character; according to nature; essential; characteristic; not artifical, foreign, assumed, put on, or acquired; as, the natural growth of animals or plants; the natural motion of a gravitating body; natural strength or disposition; the natural heat of the body; natural color.

According to thefreedictionary.com

• Present in or produced by nature: a natural pearl.
• Of, relating to, or concerning nature: a natural environment.
• Biology Not produced or changed artificially; not conditioned: natural immunity; a natural reflex.
• Not altered, treated, or disguised: natural coloring; natural produce.

According to the Webster's new world dictionary, the word "natural" means, "produced or existing in nature; not artificial."

According to those definitions above anything derived from plants, animals or elements found on planet Earth could earn the "all natural" label.

In any industries today, there's NO official definition for the term "all natural." Thus it means that whatever the producers want it to mean. It can mean, for example, that all the chemicals found in the product simply aren't listed on the label. (There's no requirement for food companies to list chemical contaminants found in their foods.)

Products which are labeled with "all natural" can contain:

• pesticides
• herbicides
• toxic heavy metals
• trace amounts of PCBs
• toxic fluoride
• hidden MSG
• high-temperature cooking byproducts
• synthetic chemical vitamins
• other non-natural substances

According to the FDA – their definition of “natural”

Natural foods are processed without preservatives or additives, but may have been grown with the use of pesticides or other conventional methods. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the term ‘natural’ only as it applies to added color, synthetic substances, and flavors.

The term ‘natural’ can include free-range and hormone-free, and it can mean that a product contains no synthetic ingredients or color additives. However, you should always check the label to be sure of a product’s ingredients.

This is all perfectly allowed and tolerated by the FDA as well as all virtually every media outlet in the world. Cable news stations, magazines, newspapers and other media giants are all too happy to take money from junk food manufacturers and run their advertisements claiming their foods are "all natural." There is absolutely no effort to determine whether such claims are really true or even partially credible. Media companies simply take the money and run the promotions, regardless of whether such promotions tell the truth.
