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 offers these tips:

When possible, buy organic fruits and veggies

Look for USDA organic labels on meat, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and honey.

Avoid processed foods labeled as "natural" or "no additives."

Make sure you read through all the ingredients. If an ingredient isn’t listed, it might be added during processing.

It is better to eat fresh meats than canned or frozen. Canned and frozen foods can often have lower nutritional content like high fructose syrup.

What's the difference?

Organic food is made without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farming practices contribute to soil health, water purity, and animal welfare.

Inorganic food is grown with pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Radiated foods are those that have been exposed to radiation. Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are created using biological engineering techniques.

Sometimes, the term "natural", is used interchangeably with "organic." But natural does not necessarily imply organic. Natural products can also be labeled with synthetic ingredients.

Organic produce is typically more nutritious than conventional produce because the soil contains fewer harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers do not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones, anti-biotics, and other harmful chemicals.

What are the best organic vegetables for you?

Organic vegetables are the healthiest and most nutritious foods available to humans. They are the best food on earth.

Organic produce can be grown without the use of pesticides herbicides fungicides and chemical fertilizers. These chemicals pose grave risks for our health and the environment.

Organic produce also contains more nutrients, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients, enzymes, fibre, and essential fatty acids. Organic produce is more nutritious and healthier.

Organic vegetables taste great and are safe to eat. There are no known side effects associated with consuming organic produce.

Every grocery store will carry organic fruit and vegetables. You can find organic fruits and vegetables at all grocery stores as long as they conform to USDA guidelines.

Are organic foods better for us?

According to the Environmental Working Group, organic vegetables and fruits had half the amount of pesticides as non-organic. Organic apples had eight times less pesticides than nonorganic apples. However, organic strawberries had four times the amount of pesticides as their conventional counterparts.

Research has also suggested that organic food may reduce mercury and lead exposure. A study concluded that children who ate organic meat had 33% lower levels of blood lead than those who didn’t. A second study found that conventional fish should be avoided by pregnant women due to the high levels of mercury.

Organic food seems to be safer than the non-organic. Experts recommend that fresh produce and vegetables be used whenever possible to reduce your chances of developing cancer.
