Apple: Organic or commercial?

An average apple, should have 4-5g of fiber, ranging between 90-100 calories and half gram of protein. Is apple a good source of fiber, vitamins and minerals? The answer is YES, if the fruit is organically grown. I'm not talking about the commonly available 'commercial' apples sold in supermarkets and grocery outlets. 

Most people think that eating fruits such as apples will provide them the essential nutrients needed. But, what most people doesn't know, is the nutrient content in a particular fruit is approximately only 15%. How could that be? Fruits such as watermelon, strawberries, honeydew, grapes, and other fruits which are contaminated with pesticides and fungicides killed off the nutrients which are absorbed from the soil itself. It is the soil quality which provides all the nutrient for any plant including vegetables and fruits. Any soil which has been contaminated with pesticides, fungicides or herbicides, will deplete the nutrient of the plant, as well as toxin being accumulated in the fruit or vegetable. 

Furthermore, in most cases, non-organic fruit, will have a lower quality fertilizer which is supposedly used to boost the grow of the plant. With that, it further deteriorate the nutrient level of that fruit or vegetable. So, do you still think that eating commercially grown fruits is good for you? Paying more for organic fruits, is definitely worth every penny for the sake of your HEALTH! Don't tell me you can't pay RM4 of an apple, but you can buy an IPHONE mobile device cost more then Rm2500? Wrong priorities folks!
