Frequently Asked Questions
Organic foods are better for us.
According to the Environmental Working Group’s latest report on pesticide residues, organic fruits/vegetables had nearly half as many pesticides than non-organic. They discovered that organic apples contained eight more pesticides per gram than non-organic ones, while organic strawberries contained four times as many pesticides.
Other studies suggest that eating organic food reduces exposure to toxic metals like lead and mercury. A study concluded that children who ate organic meat had 33% lower levels of blood lead than those who didn’t. Another study concluded traditional fish should not be consumed by pregnant women, due to high mercury levels.
Organic food is generally safer than non-organic. Experts recommend that you choose fresh fruits and vegetables whenever possible to lower your chance of developing cancer or other diseases.
Are organic foods good for your health?
Even though organic foods might not be for everyone, there are some health benefits. For those who consume them regularly, however, they can offer certain health benefits.
Organic food is free from artificial fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides as well as hormones, antibiotics and genetic engineering. Organic produce is free from harmful chemicals that could cause harm to human health.
Also, there are fewer additives that are used in processing. You're more likely to eat organic products than you are non-organic.
Studies have shown organic foods have more nutrients and antioxidants that conventionally grown fruits, vegetables.
While organic farming is generally more expensive than conventional farming, they often produce better results. Organic agriculture encourages soil fertility, biodiversity and biodiversity.
This helps preserve water resources and prevents erosion. Organic farms also require less energy and fuel, as they aren't treated using toxic chemicals.
People are worried that organic foods may be more expensive then conventional. However, prices can vary depending upon where you live. For example, organic apples can be more costly than conventional apples.
But, if we look at the total cost of a combination of both types and fruits, we'll see organic is much cheaper.
Do you want to go organic?
It depends on you. It doesn't matter if organic food isn't for you.
Organic food can be purchased if you like good-tasting food. And since most commercial growers use chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), organic foods are safer for consumers.
Organic agriculture is a way to preserve the environment, conserve natural resources, and encourage biodiversity.
Why should I choose organic?
The health risks of conventional agriculture include asthma, allergies and diabetes. When buying food, you must make wise choices.
Here are some tips from the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
Buy organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible.
USDA organic labels should be used on meat, poultry and eggs as well as milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, honey, and other dairy products.
Avoid processed foods that claim to be "natural" and "no additives."
Always read the ingredient lists. If an ingredient isn’t listed, it might be added during processing.
Fresh meats are better than canned or frozen. Frozen and canned foods often contain less nutrient-rich ingredients like high fructose corn syrup.
Statistics
- Popular clothing brands, like Patagonia, are labelled as organic by using 100 percent organic cotton for many of their styles. (en.wikipedia.org)
- Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids were up to 50 percent higher in organic meats and milk than in conventionally raised products.[3] (en.wikipedia.org)
- As for organic meat, regulations require that animals be raised in living conditions that accommodate their natural behaviours (like the ability to graze on pasture), fed 100% organic feed and forage, and not administered antibiotics or hormones. (usda.gov)
- Cosmetic brands such as Laurel and Rose Mira are 100 percent organic and have a wide array of skincare products. (en.wikipedia.org)

How To
Organic food: Are they healthier and better for you?
Organic food is produced without chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. They are grown under natural conditions, without artificial inputs like pesticides, herbicides hormones, antibiotics, genetic engineering, and fungicides. Cover crops, crop rotation, crop rotation, composting animal manure as well as recycling wastewater are all organic farming practices.
In 2002, USDA National Organic Programs (NOP) were established to regulate the production and handling of organic products that are sold in the United States. The NOP regulations ensure that organic agricultural products are produced according to federal standards outlined in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Furthermore, the NOP rules require organic products to be free of banned substances such as pesticides residues and growth hormones.
In the U.S., there are two types of certification programs available for producers who want their products labelled "organic": one for farmers and ranchers and another for manufacturers. Each program requires an annual audit of operations to ensure compliance with strict standards. There are several certifying organizations that offer these services. These include the CCOF Certified Organic Farmers & Ranchers as well as Quality Assurance International and the American Grassfed Association. These organizations offer third-party verification that farms adhere to strict guidelines about environmental stewardship and labour practices.
According to USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS), organic agriculture accounted in 2013 for $4.7 Billion in sales. That year, retail spending on certified organic products totalled nearly $1.5 billion, representing a 23 percent increase since 2009. The number of grocery stores that sold organic products increased 12 percent over the same period. Direct purchases of organic produce saw a 29 percent increase in spending, while seafood, meat, poultry and eggs experienced a 1 percent growth.
Although organic food can be more expensive than regular food, many consumers feel that its quality is well worth the additional cost. According to a 2015 survey conducted by Consumer Reports, 88 percent of respondents said they would pay more for organic food if it meant higher nutritional value. Another study published in Health Affairs found that people who eat organic foods are less likely to suffer health problems like cancer, diabetes, obesity, asthma, heart disease, and depression.
Even though there is no evidence organic foods cause or treat diseases, some studies show that they can improve overall health by reducing pesticide and other contaminants exposure. According to a 2010 review of 31 studies, organically raised beef showed significantly lower levels in toxic chemicals and parasites than conventionally produced beef. Similar conclusions were reached in a separate analysis of 11 other studies published in 2012.
A 2014 report from the Environmental Working Group looked at data from the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Resource Center and found that the incidence of foodborne illness caused by E. coli, salmonella, listeria monocytogenes, campylobacter, and verotoxin-producing E. coli O157:H7 decreased when comparing organic to non-organic chicken, pork, beef, lamb, milk, and cheese. After 2006, when USDA required stricter organic standards in animal raising for human consumption, the group noted that E.coli O157 was less common among children and adults.
