Grocery & Produce Brand Policies on Apeel
First off, what is Apeel?
Apeel is an invisible coating made up of purified monoglycerides and diglycerides which claims to keep fruit fresh for twice as long. Although found in some foods, researchers know relatively little about how eating large amounts of monoglycerides affects the body.
When nature is tampered with, research has shown it does not fare well for mankind. It is unnatural for real food to have an extended shelf life. #thinkaboutit
Benefits of Sea Moss
Edible microalgae
What the heck?
I know, I know…edible microalgae?? Sounds a bit weird, right? If it makes you
more comfortable, this is also known as seaweed. If you’ve ever eaten fish, sushi,
chlorella, spirulina, dulse, wakame, and so many other foods in local grocery
stores/restaurants, you’ve eaten edible microalgae. In fact, THIS is the very
reason eating fish is marketed to us as healthy for our bodies. However, the other
parts of eating fish are not so healthy, so instead of “going to the middle-man”,
just eat what the fish eat!
“Eating fish because it’s healthy is like
eating a human because they eat salads.”
-Author, Dr. Truth
Seaweeds are a nutrient-rich food, gaining major attention due to the benefits
they give to one’s health. Recent studies demonstrate the high nutritional
value of seaweeds and the powerful properties that seaweeds’ bioactive
compounds provide [1].
Benefits
Seaweed is 100%, All Natural, highly nutritious, and crop free of chemicals [1].
It is identified as “nutraceutical food” which is a food that provides not only
nutritional value but also it may help to prevent health problems. Seaweeds-based
foods are considered nutraceutical products due to the positive effects on human
health such as:
o Anti-viral
o Anti-bacterial
o Anti-inflammatory
o Anticoagulant effects
o Antithrombotic effects
o Prevention and Alleviation of numerous Dis-eases such as:
- Arthritis
- Diabetes
- Autoimmune Disorders
- Ocular Diseases (glaucoma, cataracts, etc.)
- Neurodegenerative Diseases (Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Multiple Sclerosis)
o Cardiovascular-diseases
o …and many other Chronic Diseases [1,2,3,4,5,11].
Rich in
o Vitamins (A, B1, B2, B9, B12, C, D, E, and K)
o Minerals (calcium, iron, iodine, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium,
zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, and fluoride)
o Low-calorie soluble fiber
o Essential Amino Acids
o Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids
o Antioxidants
SEA MOSS
Sea Moss (also called Chondrus crispus and Irish moss) is a specific type of
seaweed. Sea moss is naturally rich in minerals and vitamins, and may have
potential health benefits in numerous areas of the body with regular use. It is
a spiny, edible plant, and has some similarities to other edible seaweeds such
as kombu, dulse, or wakame. Seaweeds were consumed as whole food
since ancient times, and they still have great economic importance
(Lomartire et al., 2021).
Sea Moss may be added to food or taken as a nutritional supplement, offering
the body vitamins (A, B1, B2, B9, B12, C, D, E, and K), essential minerals
(calcium, iron, iodine, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper,
manganese, selenium, and fluoride), dietary fibers [6,7,8,9], protein, essential
amino acids and polyphenols, which exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
properties [10].
