With all the pollutants that we are (01) to daily, we are in danger of (02) a

lot of free radicals that can damage our cells. The damage caused by free radicals can be (03)

and may lead to cancer. In order to stop these free radicals from (04) our body, we need the

presence of antioxidants like beta-carotene, lycopene, selenium, carotenoids and vitamins C, E and A in our bodies. As

these substances can deactivate free radicals before they cause damages to our bodies, having a diet rich in antioxidants

in us, we should think about filling our diet with organic food with contains a higher amount of antioxidants than non-

organic food.

Organic foods are (05) using methods that do not involve modern synthetic inputs such as

pesticides and chemical fertilizers, do not contain (06) modified organisms and are not processed

using irradiation, industrial solvents, or chemical food additives. Organic food production is a heavily

(07) industry. Currently, the European Union, the United States, Canada, Japan and many other

countries require (08) to obtain special certification in order to market food as organic within their

borders.

Although many studies have (09) that the nutritional value (10) in organic

and non-organic foods are the same, there have been some that proved otherwise. Crops that are grown through organic

depend on their innate defense mechanisms to survive. This mechanism requires the production of antioxidants which

is higher in plans that are grown organically.

"the trouble is," sighed the doctor, grasping her meaning intuitively, "that youth is given up to illusions. it seems to be a provision of nature; a decoy to secure mothers for the race. and nature takes no account of moral consequences, of arbitrary conditions which we create, and which we feel obliged to maintain at any cost." what larger idea is the doctor referring to when he says that nature takes no account of moral consequences? impulses often overrule a person’s sense of good and bad. nature forces women into motherhood. young people are prone to having delusions. morals play no role when we choose who we love.
