How healthy are your fresh fruit and vegetables? Fertilizers that contain necessary elements for plant growth are used for cultivating fruits and vegetables. However, misuse of production technology, usage of prohibited fertilizers, pesticides and chemicals, as well as an increased level of fertilizer concentrations in the soil can all result in a serious damage to your health. Of all the substances that are transferred to the soil from fertilizers, nitrates are one of the most harmful if consumed in excess. Continuous intake of food with a high nitrate content may lead to an elevated risk of serious diseases. Are you being exposed to dangerous agricultural chemicals? Many farmers apply too much fertilizer. This can result in unsafe levels of fruit nitrate and vegetable nitrate content. It's especially dangerous to children. nitrates and nitrites in fruit and vegetables: The risk to human health Most health conscious people know about the dangers of pesticides in fresh fruit and vegetables. Few are aware that fresh fruit and vegetables expose them to dangerous nitrates. Nitrates Pesticides Purpose Boost crop yields Protect plants from pests Where found Within fruit and vegetable Outer skin and within Effect Long term risk of serious disease, carcinogenic Long term risk of serious disease, carcinogenic Where regulated Europe/Russia Most countries Estimated exposure Estimated 60% meet standards Estimated 99%+ meet standards Awareness Low High Due to lack of regulations and consumer awareness, nitrates in fresh fruit and vegetables pose a greater threat than pesticides. Nitrates cause serious disease It has long been established that excessive nitrates are harmful to health. Excessive nitrate consumption causes blue baby syndrome and adult methemoglobinemia. Nitrates significantly increase the risk of diabetes, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease and certain types of cancer. Some researchers believe that the dramatic rise in cancer of the esophagus recorded over recent decades can be attributed to excessive nitrates in fruit and vegetables. Nitrate content in fresh produce is unregulated Due to the dangers, most jurisdictions tightly control the nitrate content of meat products. Food producers who add nitrates to meat must comply with strict regulations and labelling requirements. Unfortunately nitrate levels in fresh fruit and vegetables are unregulated and unchecked in most places. There are no standards for producers or labelling requirements for sellers. This is a risk factor. Improper farming and storage methods can result in excessive nitrate content in fruit and vegetables. Because there is no testing for nitrate levels at any point in the supply chain, consumers of fresh fruit and vegetables are exposed to unnecessary danger. Healthy eaters are most at risk No food is ever completely safe. Even fresh fruit and vegetables can make people sick from contamination from bacteria, pesticides and other residues. Consumers are largely protected from these risks by testing and regulatory oversight. However they are not protected from excessive nitrate content in fresh fruit and vegetables. There is no oversight. Because of this negligence, health conscious people who who eat healthy amounts of raw and lightly cooked fresh fruit and vegetables have a greater risk of consuming harmful nitrates. More dangerous than pesticides? People seeking healthier food often choose produce that's grown organically without pesticides and herbicides. But that organic label can provide a false sense of security. Fruit and vegetables certified organic may still contain high levels of nitrates, absorbed from over application of natural fertilizers such as manure. So while avoiding harmful inorganic contaminants the consumer may be exposed to unsafe nitrate levels. Currently the only way to know fruit and vegetables are completely safe is by analyzing the nitrate content of the food you eat. Nitrate levels in fruit and vegetables can now be measured quickly, easily, and accurately with Greentest, the portable nitrate detector by our company. GREENTEST Always On Green Side There Is A Difference Our company dedicates ourselves to changing the quality of life and protecting us and our children from the infringement of harmful impurities, nitrates and nitrites. As a result, a revolutionary new food safety testing device Greentest, has been developed, which allows detecting fruits and vegetables cultivated improperly and evaluating the concentration of nitrates. It helps us satisfy our "greenlife" desires to rub the lamp. GREENTEST Give Your Food A Health Check Now you can identify unhealthy fruit and vegetables with this portable fruit and vegetable nitrate tester... ----------------------- Protect yourself and protect your family Simply insert the probe into your sample Easy-to-read test results in just 3 seconds GREENTEST It only takes 3 seconds to check the health of your fruit and vegetables ------------------------ Vegetables and fruits contains various amounts of salt ions, 98% of which are nitrate ions. point2The Greentest probe applies a precisely regulated electrical current to a fruit or vegetable specimen. point3The proprietary Greentest algorithm accurately calculates the specimen's nitrate content by comparing its electrical conductivity against a database obtained from exhaustive mass spectrometer testing of similar specimens under laboratory conditions. greentest-machineThe results displayed are certified to be more than 90% accurate according to third party testing more than enough to determine the safety of the specimen. GREENTEST Detailed Parameters Brand Name GREENTEST Model Number GREENTEST-1A-1 Measurement Range of Nitrate Concentrations -40~100 degree 0~100%RH Measurement Accuracy ±10% Measurement Time ~3 Seconds Power Lithium Battery Charging Current 250mA Additional Power Source USB Voltage Range 5V Usage Time Over 6 Hours Resolution 320×240 Oper.Temp 0±50 degreedegree Dimension 120mm×52mm×14mm Weight 85g GREENTEST A scientific approach to food safety Greentest works by measuring the electrical conductivity of the fruit or vegetable matter being tested. Lower resistance = higher nitrate content The presence of nitrate ions in organic matter measurably increases conductivity. This measurement differs according to the ion concentration and cell structure of the fruit or vegetable under test. Calibrated through extensive testing Our scientists developed the Greentest nitrate content protocols by using a mass spectrometer to determine nitrate levels in a large number of fruit and vegetable specimens. Testing a range of specimens under laboratory conditions allowed us to establish normative levels for various fruit and vegetable species. A high degree of accuracy The results were applied to test algorithms which have been coded into the Greentest device. The device has been extensively back-checked against specimens that were subsequently tested with a mass spectrometer. The device is certified to be more than 90% accurate according to third party testing. This is more than sufficient to produce a valid assessment of nitrate content.
