Frequently Asked Questions
Are organic foods better?
According to the Environmental Working Group’s latest report on pesticide residues, organic fruits/vegetables had nearly half as many pesticides than non-organic. Organic strawberries contained four times more pesticides that their conventional counterparts, and organic apples contained eight percent less.
Some studies also suggest that eating organic food helps reduce your exposure to toxic metals, such as mercury and lead. One study found that organic meats had 33 percent less lead in children than the levels of those who did not eat them. Another study concluded conventional fish consumption should be stopped by pregnant women because it contains high levels of mercury.
Organic food tends to be healthier than nonorganic. Experts recommend that you choose fresh fruits and vegetables whenever possible to lower your chance of developing cancer or other diseases.

The Environmental Working Group has the following tips for choosing "cleaner" food.
As much as possible, purchase organic fruits or vegetables
USDA organic labels can be found on meat, poultry (eggs, eggs), milk, cheese and yogurt as well.
Avoid processed foods that claim to be "natural" and "no additives."
Check ingredient lists carefully. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.
Fresh meats are better than canned or frozen. Canned and frozen foods can often have lower nutritional content like high fructose syrup.

How To
5 Reasons to buy organic products
Organic foods are organically grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. They do not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or radioactive ingredients. They are not made with sewage sludge, industrial solvents, or any other chemical substances. During the growth process, food is kept clean from any contamination. It is completely free from artificial preservatives, additives, and other harmful chemicals. It does not contain hormones or antibiotics. They are also grown in conditions that ensure they retain their nutritional value for longer periods of time.
- Health benefits. Organic produce contains less chemicals that nonorganic. This means it's less likely to cause allergies and sensitivities. It also means you're consuming fewer toxins and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Organic produce is low in water consumption. Because conventional farming requires so much energy, organic farms are usually located far from places where pollution is high. This helps reduce pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming relies on soil fertility, rather than chemical fertilisers. This results in healthier soils and higher levels organic matter. Soil health improves when farmers rotate crops and leave land fallow periodically. Strong immune systems are developed when farm animals only eat grasses and grains that have not been treated with hormones or antibiotics.
- Taste. Due to being picked at peak quality, vegetables and fruits are often bland. Organic produce tastes richer and sweeter because it was harvested while still unripe.
- Nutrition. GMOs are harmful chemicals found in many conventional processed foods. Stick to whole foods, including meat, eggs fish, nuts seeds, beans and fruit.
