Frequently Asked Questions
Organic foods are better for us.
According to the Environmental Working Group, organic vegetables and fruits had half the amount of pesticides as 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. For instance, one study showed that children who consumed organic meat had 33% less blood lead levels than children who did not. Another study concluded that pregnant mothers should avoid eating conventional fish because of the high levels mercury.
Organic food tends to be healthier than nonorganic. Experts recommend eating fresh fruits and veggies whenever possible to reduce the chance of developing cancer.
What are organic foods?
Organic produce is free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, sewage sludge and confinement feeding. There are no growth hormones used and animal testing is not performed. These crops can naturally grow, so no chemicals are used by farmers to combat pests or weeds.
Organic farming practices help maintain soil quality and reduce erosion. Organic foods are healthier than conventional foods because they have more nutrients. Organic products have a higher fiber content and are lower in calories and fat than conventionally manufactured ones.
What are natural beauty products?
Organic Beauty Products are natural products that do not contain any synthetic chemicals, including parabens. Phenoxyethanol, phthalates and artificial preservatives. These ingredients are commonly found in conventional beauty products like cosmetics, shampoos, and perfumes.
Organic beauty products don't contain genetically modified organisms and are therefore free from animal testing.
The USDA defines organic as "a system for production that fosters recycling of resources". It has been used over the years to describe foods grown without pesticides.
The harmful effects of chemical compounds on our bodies have led to an increase in the demand for ecofriendly beauty products.
These include skin irritations, cancer, hormonal imbalance, premature aging, and allergies.
Organic beauty companies are committed to creating healthy and safe products for consumers while protecting the environment.
Is organic meat more nutritious?
You probably know the answer if you have been paying attention for a while. Here's the problem: Organic food is becoming more sought-after, while traditional food continues to decline in popularity.
Organic foods are more appealing because they are healthier. Organic foods are safer for our bodies and help to reduce pollution.
However, there are also two sides to this coin. Organic produce takes longer to grow and requires more resources to do so. Organic food is generally more expensive than nonorganic.
Organic meats will typically be more expensive than those that are raised in conventional conditions. But, you can reduce the cost of organic meats without compromising quality.
Buy locally to save money. Buy locally grown vegetables and fruits to help keep prices low. Farmers receive incentives to grow healthier crops.
Look for bargains to cut down on costs. Organics often come with discounts.
Finally, another way to save money is by eating less meat. The feed required to raise cattle can make meat production expensive.
There are many reasons that organic food is better than regular food for our bodies, and also for the planet. However, it is important to remember the price.
Do organic foods have health benefits?
Although organic foods are not for everyone, they can be very healthy. 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 produced without the use of harmful chemicals which could affect human health.
Organic products also have fewer additives. Organic products are likely to be healthier than nonorganic.
Studies show that organic foods contain more nutrients and antioxidants than conventionally grown fruits and vegetables.
Even though organic farming methods can be more costly than conventional farming methods they are often more productive. Organic farming increases soil fertility and biodiversity.
This helps conserve water resources and protects against erosion. Organic farms also require less energy and fuel, as they aren't treated using toxic chemicals.
People worry that organic foods will be more expensive than those made from conventional food. However, prices will vary depending on where one lives. Organic apples, for example, are more expensive than regular apples.
But if you look at the total price of a basket of both types of fruit, you'll see that buying organic is cheaper.
Should you buy organic?
It all depends upon who you are. If organic food doesn't appeal to you, you shouldn't bother.
Organic food can be purchased if you like good-tasting food. Organic food is safer because organic produce is not grown by commercial growers who use pesticides and chemical fertilizers.

Why should I choose organic?
Conventional agriculture has been linked to several health problems, including asthma, allergies, obesity, diabetes, cancer, birth defects, hormone imbalances, and other diseases. When buying food, you must make wise choices.
Here are some tips from the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
Always buy organic fruits & vegetables.
USDA organic labels for meat, poultry eggs, milk and cheese as well butter and honey are recommended.
Avoid processed foods labeled as "natural" or "no additives."
Check ingredient lists carefully. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.
You should choose fresh meats rather than frozen or canned. Frozen and canned foods often contain less nutrient-rich ingredients like high fructose corn syrup.
What is an inorganic food?
Organic food does not use pesticides or fertilizers. These chemicals could cause health problems for those who eat inorganic food.
Organic food is free from harmful substances like pesticides and herbicides. These chemicals can be dangerous for both humans and animals.
Inorganic food can include meat, fish eggs, buttermilk cheese, buttermilk, yogurt, honey grains, vegetables, fruits spices, and herbs.
The way that an agricultural product is grown organically is what the term means. Organic farming employs natural methods and soil amendments for growing crops. Conventional agriculture uses pesticides or fertilizers.
U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines must be followed when organic food is labeled. According to the National Organic Program Standards all organic food must be free of banned materials such as antibiotics growth hormones genetically modified organisms GMOs, and industrial solvents. Organic food must also be free from toxic chemicals, petroleum based fertilizers, sewage effluents and ionizing radiation.

- 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)
- Brands participating in this challenge are committed to using 100 percent sustainable cotton by 2025.[5] (en.wikipedia.org)

How To
What happens to your body when you switch to organic products?
Organic products are produced without the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They are free-range and come from clean water sources. Organic products are those that do not contain chemicals or other additives. This product was produced by nature and therefore contains no harmful substances.
Natural means how food is grown. This term is often used to refer to foods that are not processed into final forms (such as fruits). Natural foods are more fresh than other foods because they have not been subject to heat, radiation or chemical preservatives. Some people think natural does not necessarily mean healthy. Experts aren't sure if there is much to be different between organic and traditional foods. Both types can be tested for safety and quality. Organic produce contains fewer pesticide and other pollutants than conventionally-grown produce.
Most grocery stores offer organic options. Organic meat, poultry or eggs can be found at most local markets. Some companies only sell organic products. Others have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic is a non-GMO Project Verified company.
You should avoid eating these items if you are pregnant or nursing. Pesticides have been shown to harm infants and unborn babies.
