How To
What happens to your body if you switch to organic products
Organic products do not contain synthetic fertilizers or hormones. They are derived from clean water and animals that have been free to roam. Organic means that they are free from chemicals and additives. This product was produced by nature and therefore contains no harmful substances.
Natural means how food is grown. It is usually used to describe foods that haven't been processed into their final form (e.g., fruits). Natural foods are usually fresher than processed foods, as they haven’t been exposed to heat, radiation, chemical preservatives, or other treatments. However, some people believe natural doesn't necessarily mean healthy. Experts aren't sure if there is much to be different between organic and traditional foods. Both types are tested for safety as well as quality. But organic produce has fewer pollutants and pesticide residues than conventionally grown produce.
In general, most grocery stores now offer organic options. Check with your local market if you want organic meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, and seafood. Some companies only sell organic products. Others have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified are some of the options.
If you are pregnant, or nursing, these products should not be eaten. Pesticides can harm unborn infants and babies.
