Organic Food
Why is it important to eat organic food?
Organic foods are grown using natural means of farming without use of chemical pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Chemicals sprayed on fruits, vegetables and grains cannot be removed by washing because they enter into the fruit or vegetable even if they have thick skin.
More over the nutrient content are lower than the food grown through natural means. In 2005 a research study found the cancer preventing lycopene content was found in higher amounts in the tomatoes grown organically compared with those not. Objective of eating food is to get nutrients needed for the body. So eat organically grown foods for your own health.
Toxic Toxic Toxic
Organic farming does not pollute the environment as the modern farming. So to keep our water, soil, air clean we should eat organically grown food. DDT which was discovered in early 1950's was considered a great agricultural revolution, but today we are unable to get the DDT out of our environment. DDT has increased cancer incidence not only in that generation but also future generation.
Latest epigenetic studies show that if a pregnant woman is exposed to a pesticide at the wrong time, the study suggests, her children, grandchildren and the rest of her descendants could inherit the damage and diseases caused by the toxin -- even if it doesn't involve a genetic mutation (Science, June 2005, "Epigenetic Transgenerational Actions of Endocrine Disruptors and Male Fertility,").
So eating food grown with pesticides and chemical fertilizers can damage your own body and your future generations.

A Systematic Review of Organic Versus Conventional Food Consumption: Is There a Measurable Benefit on Human Health? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31861431
Significant positive outcomes were seen in longitudinal studies where increased organic intake was associated with reduced incidence of infertility, birth defects, allergic sensitisation, otitis media, pre-eclampsia, metabolic syndrome, high BMI, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Indian Yogurt
Hope you read about the importance of Gut bacteria in the previous section about fermented foods.
Here we discuss about how changing the gut bacteria by regularly eating fermented foods can have a great impact on health.
The Indian yogurt is different from the American or European yogurt. Indian yogurt is not slimy like the other yogurt and has a cheesy consistency. This is because of the low percentage of the slime producing bacteria Streptococcus cremoris and S.Lactis in the Indian Yogurt. Another difference is that the Indian yogurt culture can grow even at high temperature.
Giving children home made yogurt everyday has been a practice in ancient India giving good health to children and be immune from many diseases without being vaccinated. Adults ate regularly fermented rice and drank butter-milk either mango flavored or with lemon leaves (Sambaaram) was a good health approach preventing many diseases with modern people have.
Our own personal experience with children having eaten home-made Indian yogurt throughout their childhood had almost no pediatric visits and even if they developed fever or cold was only very mild and went away just by giving turmeric with honey.
In Indian traditional way of eating yogurt was the must eaten recipe and very interestingly it was eaten after the dessert. (Sure some researchers can find the role of yogurt eating after sweets and good dental health-(June 2013). Even now many South Indians do not know that leaving rice for yogurt after eating the sweet payasam (dessert) will prevent dental damage.
Again ancient Indian cultural tradition was against eating yogurt in the beginning of the meal. This was a clever way of avoiding the gastic hydrocholoric acid form killing the healthy bacteria in the yogurt. By the time yogurt was eaten in the end of the meal, it paved a safe passage of healthy lactobacillus in yogurt to colonize the gut leading to good health.
Ignoring scientific logic in ancient life style, lead to health problems for modern Indians. Our message is to convey everyone to eat more fermented rice and fermented yogurt for good health. Now modern research is proving old Indian life style habits, which ironically is ignored by most educated Indians.
Dhahi or thayir, the Indian yogurt also prevented the growth of other harmful E.coli bacteria. These scientific studies prove this fact.

There’s CRISPR in Your Yogurt
We’ve all been eating food enhanced by the genome-editing tool for years.
http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/41676/title/There-s-CRISPR-in-Your-Yogurt/
Old references:
In ancient Indian records, the combination of yogurt and honey is called "the food of the gods".[17] Persian traditions hold that "Abraham owed his fecundity and longevity to the regular ingestion of yogurt".[18]
Bacteria
Bacillus bulgaricus (now Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus)
Yogurt is made by inoculating certain bacteria (starter culture), usually Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, into milk.
In addition, other lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are also sometimes added during or after culturing yogurt.
The Russian Nobel laureate biologist Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov (also seen as Élie Metchnikoff), from the Institut Pasteur in Paris, was influenced by Grigorov's work and hypothesized that regular consumption of yogurt was responsible for the unusually long lifespans of Bulgarian peasants. Believing Lactobacillus to be essential for good health, Mechnikov worked to popularize yogurt as a foodstuff throughout Europe.
