How To
What happens to the body when you switch over to organic products
Organic products are free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, and genetic manipulation. 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 refers to the way food was 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. Natural doesn't necessarily have to be healthy, however. Experts believe there is no difference in organic and conventional food. Both types of food are tested for safety, quality, and purity. Organic produce contains fewer pesticide and other pollutants than conventionally-grown produce.
Most grocery stores now sell organic products. Check with your local market if you want organic meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, and seafood. Some companies sell only organic products; others have separate sections for them. USDA Certified Organic is a non-GMO Project Verified company.
These products should not be consumed if you are pregnant. Unborn babies and infants can be affected by pesticides.
