Are organic foods healthy?
There are two types of foods; those we grow ourselves and those we buy from someone else. There are exceptions, but the majority of the time, both options will be available. Organic food is healthier as it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals or pesticides, herbicides and preservatives.
You can find organic food in supermarkets across North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Organic food is now available in most grocery stores, making it easier to find organic foods.
Organic food is healthier and tastes better because it contains more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients. Organics are grown without using pesticides and fertilizers. They also don't pollute soil or water.
The USDA regulates organic agriculture practices. This means that farmers must adhere to strict guidelines to make sure organic produce is safe to consume. There are currently more than 30,000,000 acres of US farmland which have been designated organic.
Organic food is often more affordable than conventional food. For the same amount, consumers pay less. Organic farms are free to charge less for their crops, as they don't need to pay expensive chemical inputs such insecticides orfungicides.
In fact, according to the Environmental Working Group, organic food costs 10 percent less per pound than conventionally produced food. You can make a change to organic food if your family is concerned about their health.
Organic food is a popular choice to traditional American cuisines. Organic food is not only available in gourmet restaurants and specialty markets, as many people may believe. Organic food can be purchased in most grocery stores across the United States.
Organic food sales have increased significantly in recent years. In 2012, the US market value for organic food was $43 Billion. This is an increase of $21 Billion from 2007.
What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?
USDA-certified organic labels are desirable. This guarantee that the product has met specific standards set forth by USDA. Look for the "USDA Organic" seal on packages, boxes, cartons, cans, and jars.
When shopping for meat, ensure it comes from cows fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants which means that they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach compartments: rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. All parts of an animal must be organically fed if the cow is going to be labelled '100% organic.'
When buying chicken, make sure it comes only from chickens fed 100% organic feed and never given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens eat both animals and plants. Omnivorous chickens possess a digestive tract made up of a crop.
You should ensure you only buy dairy products made from milk that has been produced by cows who have been fed 100% organically grown food. Dairy cows have four stomach compartments, just like ruminants. The fourth stomach, or the udder is where you get milk.
You should always check the label before purchasing any other livestock. This will let you know what percentage of the diet was given to the animals. One example is pork that may be labeled '95% Organic'. This means that 95 percent came from organic sources.
Why should I choose organic?
Many health issues have been linked to conventional agriculture, including obesity, diabetes and cancer. Healthy choices must be made when purchasing food.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG), offers these tips to help you choose "cleaner" foods:
Always buy organic fruits & vegetables.
Look for USDA organic labels on meat, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and honey.
Avoid processed foods that claim to be "natural" and "no additives."
Always read the ingredient lists. If an ingredient doesn't appear on the list, it could be added to the product during processing.
Choose fresh meats over frozen or canned ones. Cans and frozen foods are often less nutritious than fresh meats, such as high fructose corn syrup.
What is the difference in organic and non-organic foods?
Organic food is made without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farming practices support soil health, water quality, and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods may be grown with chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or sewage sludge. Irradiated foods are treated with radiation; genetically modified organisms (GMO) are created through biological engineering techniques.
Sometimes, the term "natural", is used interchangeably with "organic." However, natural does not necessarily mean organic. Some products labeled "natural" may also contain synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is more nutritious than traditional produce due to the fact that it contains less harmful chemicals and pesticides. In addition, organic farmers do not use artificial fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or pesticides.
Are organic foods good for your health?
Even though organic foods might not be for everyone, there are some health benefits. However, regular consumption of organic foods can have 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.
Organic products also have fewer additives. You're more likely to eat organic products than you are non-organic.
Studies have shown that organic foods are more nutritious and rich in antioxidants than fruits and veggies grown from conventional sources.
Even though organic farming methods can be more costly than conventional farming methods they are often more productive. Organic farming promotes soil fertility as well as biodiversity.
This helps conserve water resources and protects against erosion. Organic farms don't use toxic chemicals and require less fuel and energy.
Many people are concerned that organic food is more expensive than regular foods. However, prices vary depending on where you live. Organic apples, for example, are more expensive than regular apples.
You'll be able to see the difference in price if you add up all of the fruits in a single basket.
So should you go organic?
It all depends upon who you are. It doesn't matter if organic food isn't for you.
However, if you enjoy good-tasting food, you can buy organic food. Organic foods are safer as most commercial growers use chemical fertilisers, pesticides, or genetically modified species (GMOs) to produce their crops.
Organic agriculture conserves the environment and promotes biodiversity.

How To
What happens to your body if you switch to organic products
Organic products do not contain synthetic fertilizers or hormones. They come from clean water sources, and are raised on free-range animals. Organic means that they are free from chemicals and additives. This product was created by nature, and therefore does not contain harmful substances.
The term "natural" refers to 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 often fresher than others because they haven't been treated with heat, radiation, or chemical preservatives. However, some people believe natural doesn't necessarily mean healthy. Experts agree that organic and conventional foods are very similar. Both types have been tested for quality and safety. But organic produce has fewer pollutants and pesticide residues 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, while others offer separate sections. USDA Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified are some of the options.
These items should be avoided if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Pesticides can harm unborn infants and babies.
