Intact Food FAQ
How is Intact For Different from Organic FoodOrganic standards are set up by the Food and Drug Administration to guarantee that foods with the organic label are largely free from pesticides, hormones and antibiotics. The label does not speak to nutritional quality or integrity. For a food to be considered “Intact”, it has to be largely free of pesticides, hormones and antibiotics but must also maintain nutritional integrity. In other words, it cannot be processed in a way that undermines its value to your body. For a food to be intact, it has to be grown or raised under natural, healthful conditions and it must make its way to your plate without any kind of processing that would destroy its nutritional integrity. Is Intact Food a Diet Like the Paleo Diet?No! Intact food is not a specific diet strategy. Rather, it’s a general food philosophy meant to simplify the question: “What should people eat?” No single diet plan is right for everyone, but there is a general nutrition rule that does apply to everyone. Everyone (under normal medical circumstances) should eat the foods the human body was designed to eat in nature in order to be healthy. We call these foods “Intact” because the word intact implies that the structure of the food is whole and undamaged, allowing the food to fulfill its function. (I.e. making you healthy!).
