Hemp Seeds Among the Most Nutrient Dense Foods on Earth
By Jill Ettinger
We all know which foods we do best to avoid (right?). Despite the alluring appeal of Oreos, Mountain Dew or McAnything, processed foods provide little nutrition and a whole lot of risks. But when it comes to the good stuff—what are the best foods to put into our bodies? While experts all agree we need a variety of foods for a healthy diet, do you know which are the healthiest of the bunch? The answers may surprise and delight you.
1. Spirulina: While the thought of eating lake algae might gross you out, spirulina is actually pretty tasty, especially blended into a smoothie or hidden in a chocolate bar. It has more antioxidants than any other food on earth and is loaded with protein and minerals making it the most nutrient dense food.
2. Kale: According to Dr. Joel Fuhrman, kale is the most nutritious food, loaded with minerals, vitamins, fiber and amino acids, as well as important antioxidants that reduce inflammation and can prevent cancer. It's also delicious and an easy to prepare, versatile food.
3. Hemp Seeds: What do you get when you combine protein, fiber, essential fatty acids, antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins and minerals? Hemp, of course. This easily digestible seed is versatile, easy to use and extremely tasty, too.
4. Chocolate: Yes, you read right. Cacao beans are so nutrient-dense that scientists haven't even begun to identify all the benefits in the little bean yet. Don't grab a Snickers though—the good stuff is found only in raw cacao beans or nibs (or really, really dark chocolate). Minerals, vitamins and tons of antioxidants are great for your heart, skin, and release chemicals in the brain that make you feel like you're in love.
5. Broccoli: Mom was right, you should eat your broccoli if you want a healthy digestive system and to decrease your risk of cancer. Broccoli has a wide range of yumminess too, from soups and stews to stir fry.
6. Spinach: Popeye was onto something with that spinach fixation. But skip the canned stuff and stick with fresh or frozen for an antioxidant, protein and fiber-rich burst of healthy goodness. Fresh or cooked, spinach's sweet and hardy flavor brightens any meal.
7. Chia: The Aztec warriors may have died out, but their legacy is alive and strong in the chia seed. This yummy, unassuming ancient favorite is loaded with omega fats, protein and fiber. Dr. Weil says it's a better choice than flax because "chia is so rich in antioxidants that the seeds don't deteriorate and can be stored for long periods without becoming rancid."
8. Berries: Unlike other fruit, berries tend to be less sugary and full of vital vitamins, minerals and those free-radical avenging antioxidants. Wild berries are always a great choice, especially black raspberries.

Versative is Helping the Hemp Revolution!
Back in May, when I signed up with Versativa, hemp searches on Google were about 1,000,000 a month. To date, hemp searches have surged to over 3,000,000!
Versativa is leading the way in making people aware of hemp and the wonders of this amazing plant. People who have visited my Versativa website end up doing more research and that is helping the cause.
Industrial hemp is NOT marijuana. It's a sustainable miracle plant that can produce tens of thousands of products including nutritional food. Versativa uses hemp in all their products including HEMPHORIA and PULSE. Versativa will be marrying land with sea in its new product INSPIRIN. INSPIRIN will combine Versativa Hemp with ForeverGreen's Marine Phytoplankton into a product that you can feel in seconds after taking it.
Join the hemp revolution! I never dreamed that I would even care about hemp, but since learning about this plant, I want to be part of the movement that will once again bring hemp farming and production back into the United States. After all, we are the BIGGEST hemp importers in the world! What? We can't grow it, but we import it?
Write your congressmen in support of H.R. 1831 introduced by Rep. Ron Paul to legalize the farming of Industrial Hemp in the United States.

Hemp & Marijuana-What's the Confusion!
Industrial Hemp is not marijuana! Industrial hemp contains less than 1% THC the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Let me put it this way, trying to smoke industrial hemp to get "high" would be like trying to get drunk on non alcohol beer...it ain't happening!
What's the confusion with industrial hemp and marijuana? There really isn't any! It was planned bad press from big money people like William Randolph Hearst who led a crusade to ban industrial hemp. You see Mr. Hearst owned millions of acres of prime timber land and someone just invented a simpler process to make paper from hemp. Well that could not be! Mr. Hearst would lose millions. So old Randolph, a publisher by the way, created public panic about the "evils" of hemp and marijuana.
Another big money player was Pierre DuPont. Little ole Pierre held patten rights to the sulfuric ACID wood pulp paper process. He also held pattens on nylon rope made from SYNTHETIC petrochemicals.
Basically, news isn't made...it's created! People like Hearst and DuPont with the help of politicians like Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon, who needed their money created the panic and prevailed to outlaw industrial hemp. It continues today. Hemp is good! Hemp is better than wood and cotton for the making of paper and clothing. Hemp can be used to fuel vehicles...much better than corn. It's responsible for the manufacturing of over 25,000 products!
Versativa came up with an awesome website that explains what I am trying to say here in more detail. Take a look by clicking HERE.

Hemp and Clothing
Here is a excerpt from an article written by Susan Carpenter of the Los Angeles Times on June 22, 2011:
"On the other hand, hemp, an industrial, non-psychoactive plant that is part of the cannabis family, has been growing in popularity among clothing makers in recent years. Stella McCarthy, Calvin Klein and a host of lesser-known labels now use the fiber, which, like bamboo and flax, requires far less water and fewer pesticides to grow than cotton. Hemp, however, is not legal to grow in the U.S., so most of the material used by American clothing designers is imported from China. As a result, just 0.003 percent of U.S. garments incorporate hemp."

Hemp is a great source for clothing materials. Where is Al Gore when you really need him! Why isn't he saying anything about this eco-friendly plant? My guess is that there just isn't any money in it!

The Industry of Hemp - A Few Facts
Did you know that there are over 25,000 known uses for hemp?
The heating and compression of hemp fibers can create building materials superior to wood in strength, cost, and quality.
Here is a big one: hemp is heat, pest, light, mildew, and rot resistant. Good by chemicals and pesticides! Cotton can't do that!
The fabric of hemp is warmer, softer, more water resistant and more durable than cotton.

The Hemp Food Comparison
Hemp. Many think it's for smoking, but not the hemp I am talking about. I am talking about industrial hemp and it's good for you! It's good to eat! And compared to many other foods, it surpasses them! Let's look at some examples:
* Hemp contains more amino acids (protein) than meat, eggs, or milk.
* Hemp is a complete protein source.
* Hemp is more balanced and digestible than soy products.
* Hemp contains roughly 47% oil. This oil is rich in omega 3 & 6 essential fats.
* Hemp oil contains more omega 3 essential fat than any fish...several times more.
* Hemp provides more energy than any energy bar and without the sugar and much less saturated
fat.
* Hemp is great to those who can't eat gluten, sugar, nuts or meat. It's a great vegan food!
* Hemp is perfect for those who suffer from constipation and for people trying to avoid those
"evil" carbs.
* Hemp is great brain food because of its rich content in essential oils.
I hope that you will begin to appreciate the value of hemp and I encourage you to find good hemp products to consume. Hemp just could change your life!
