"Organic Foods: Are They Really Better?"

Dr. Joseph J. Murphy, former food research scientist and current Director of the Suburban Chiropractic Center in Chatham will present an inter-active course entitled, “Organic Foods: Are They Really Better?” for the general public on March 19, 2014 at 8:00 PM.

The course is open to all area residents, and there is no fee; however, they are suggesting each attendee bring a canned food donation for The Community Food Bank of NJ. The seminar will be held at Suburban Chiropractic’s offices at 301 Main St. i...n Chatham

Dr. Murphy will be discussing such subjects as: What does the word “Organic” really mean? How is it regulated? Is organic food more nutritious? Is it worth the extra cost? What is “organic farming”? What is “natural food”?

Organic Food in all its facets will be discussed as well as how the word “Organic” applies to non-food items. Dr. Murphy will also discuss modern concepts of general nutrition, supplementation, health and well-being. After the presentation there will be an extensive question and answer period where Dr. Murphy will answer all queries dealing with organic food, nutrition & health.
