How To
What happens to your body if you switch to organic products
Organic products are grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic manipulation. They are derived from clean water and animals that have been free to roam. The term "organic" means they do not contain any chemicals or additives. This product is natural and does not contain any harmful substances.
The term "natural" refers how food is grown. It's usually used to describe foods not processed into their final form (such as 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. Many experts say there isn't much difference between conventional and organic foods. Both types can be tested for safety and quality. Organic produce has less pesticide residues and pollutant than conventionally grown food.

Others have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified. Biodynamic Association Certified. Rainforest Alliance Certified.
