TMF Florida - Quality Control - Imports / Exports

In addition to identifying such nutrient-dense fruits and their health benefits ... the next extremely important factor is the establishing of their country or region of origin.  According to the World Health Organization and innumerable worldwide studies and statistics ... many areas and in particular, the tropical ones of the third world countries, are either very contaminated with chemicals, pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, etc. which no longer are in use anywhere else ... or the production methods, preservation and transportation of the tropical products do not comply with US / EU import regulations or the requirements for a healthy nutrition at all. 

No fruit can be called a medical fruit if it comes to your table contaminated by its production and/or transportation. Certain chemicals such as DDT and others have been agriculturally intensively utilized in the past.   Even if banned now, in the majority of countries, the presence of such dangerous chemicals will continue to linger in the grounds for decades and even centuries. Such chemicals can appear in agricultural produce without warning and their presence in our diet could be disastrous and even fatal.

Knowing the place of origin of your fruits is therefore of eminent importance if you are concerned with your and your families’ health. If you are inclined to trust the label “organic” placed on your fruits, make absolute sure that you understand the allowances provided by the rules and regulations governing the “organic” labelling denomination. 

For the above listed considerations as well as for multiple other reasons, we at the TMF Florida have set the goals of identifying the most important fruits for our health based on their nutritional values and also investigate and identify the health hazards based on their origin, transportation and handling. It is important to remark that the EU cannot grow tropical fruits due to their climatic conditions.  Fruits growing in Florida are healthy and non-contaminated.

Consumer Health and Nutrition - International Research

After years of research, and considering the vast accumulated information in nutrition today, we determined that a specific attention should be granted to the enormous importance of certain tropical fruits in our diet.  Why are the tropical fruits so important for our health and general well being? Everyone knows that vitamins and minerals are a main component in a healthy nutrition.  No vitamins however can be as effective for our metabolism as the ones contained in the natural fruit. 

There are fruits ... and fruits ... all being indispensable for a healthy diet, certain ones are nevertheless more important for the maintenance of our optimal metabolism than any other elements of the nutrition.  A particular group of fruits, the tropical ones, are proven to be in all medical studies much richer in multiple vitamins and minerals than any other natural constituents of our diet.  Some of them are covering almost the entire spectrum of vitamins and minerals indispensable for our life. 

The more complex the beneficial list of vitamins and minerals contained in one particular fruit and the higher their concentration is, the more justifiable it becomes to call that particular fruit a MEDICAL FRUIT. 

Tropical Medical Fruits

The tropical medical fruits and foods we are introducing to you are the purest form of natural nutrition.  Vitamins and minerals uncontaminated and unchanged as well as un-depleted of their original pure accompanying enzymes are only contained within the structure of their natural package … the tropical fruit itself. 

The end consumer must understand that vitamins and minerals extracted out of their natural environment (that is fresh fruits and vegetables) are not acting the same in our metabolism. 

No matter how pure the chemicals are, no matter how scientific the process of extraction and no matter what the manufacturer is promising, the pills, vitamins and minerals are not accompanied by the original natural enzymes and other components present in the natural fruit or vegetable.  It is the process of metabolism, the step-by-step absorption and utilization which matters in the final instance and not the purity, the ideal chemical formula or the additives, preservatives, artificial colorings and other mystifications of the natural product. 

Industrial food processing disrupts the majority, if not all metabolically necessary components of the natural ingredients.  Heat sensitive vitamins are eliminated instantly.  Delicate enzymes are obliterated in the same way.  The additives on the label are accentuating the reduction of nutritional value further, helping only the manufacturer to produce faster, cheaper in making the food shelf life unnaturally longer and therefore difficult to digest and metabolize.
