Frequently Asked Questions
Are organic foods better?
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.
Other studies suggest that eating organic food reduces exposure to toxic metals like lead and mercury. One study revealed that children who ate organic meat had 33 per cent lower blood lead levels than their counterparts who didn't eat organic meats. Another study concluded traditional fish should not be consumed by pregnant women, due to high mercury levels.
Organic food seems to be safer than the non-organic. Experts recommend eating fresh fruits and veggies whenever possible to reduce the chance of developing cancer.
Is organic a guarantee that the product is pesticide-free
Organic food is naturally chemical-free and grows without pesticides. This means that organic food is often free of pesticides and fertilizers.
Because organic produce is free of harmful additives, it also has more nutrients than conventionally grown foods.
The USDA National Organic Program, (NOP), requires farmers to adhere to strict guidelines when cultivating organic crops.
These guidelines include soil preparation, crop rotating, pest control and water conservation.
Organic farming techniques also contribute to healthy ecosystems that benefit wildlife as well as natural habitats.
What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?
USDA-certified organic labels should be sought. This certifies that the product has met certain standards set by USDA. On packages, boxes, cartons or cans, look out for the USDA Organic seal.
When shopping for meat ensure it comes only from cows that are fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants which means that they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have 4 stomach compartments: Rumen, reticulum and omasum. If the cow is to be labeled "100% organic", all of its parts must have been organically fed.
Make sure you only buy chicken from chicken farms that are fed organically and have never been given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens eat both animals and plants. The digestive tract of an omnivorous chicken is composed of a crop and proventriculus, gizzard as well as small intestine, large intestinale, and anus.
Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Like ruminants, dairy cattle have four stomachs. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.
When purchasing other types of livestock, check the label to see what percentage of the diet the animals were fed. One example is pork that may be labeled '95% Organic'. This means that 95 percent came from organic sources.
Is organic meat better?
You probably know the answer if you have been paying attention for a while. This is the crux of it: organic food has been growing in popularity while conventional food has fallen out of favor.
The reason why organic foods continue to rise in popularity is that they are healthier for us. Organic products are not only safer for our health but also reduce pollution and waste.
There are two sides to the coin. Organic produce takes more time to grow and requires greater resources. Organic food is more expensive than non-organic.
Organic meats can be more expensive that those from conventionally raised animals. But, you can reduce the cost of organic meats without compromising quality.
One way to save money is to buy locally. Buy locally grown vegetables and fruits to help keep prices low. Farmers receive incentives to grow healthier crops.
You can also look for deals to reduce costs. There are often discounts offered when purchasing organics.
Finally, another way to save money is by eating less meat. Feeding livestock can be very expensive.
There are many reasons why organic food is better for our bodies and the planet, but we should be careful not to overlook the cost.
What are organic beauty items?
Organic Beauty Products don't contain synthetic chemicals such as parabens. These ingredients are present in all conventional beauty products including shampoos and cosmetics.
Organic beauty products can also be made without animal testing, and they do not contain any genetically altered organisms (GMO).
The USDA defines organic production as "a system of production which fosters the cycle of resources" and it has been used since decades to refer to foods grown without pesticides.
Because of the damaging effects of chemical substances on our health, there has been an increase in demand for eco friendly beauty products.
These include skin irritations, cancer, hormonal imbalance, premature aging, and allergies.
Organic beauty businesses are committed to providing safe, healthy products that consumers can use while protecting the environment.

How To
What happens to the body when you switch over to organic products
Organic products are grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic manipulation. They come from clean water sources, and are raised on free-range animals. The term "organic", which means they don't contain additives or chemicals, refers to their non-containing any. This product was produced by nature and therefore contains no harmful substances.
Natural means how food is grown. It is used to describe food that has not been processed into its 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. But, not everyone believes that natural foods are healthy. Experts agree that organic and conventional foods are very similar. Both types of food have been tested for safety and quality. But organic produce has fewer pollutants and pesticide residues than conventionally grown produce.
Most grocery stores offer organic options. Check with your local market if you want organic meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, and seafood. Some companies only sell organic products. Others have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified. Biodynamic Association Certified. Rainforest Alliance Certified.
You should avoid eating these items if you are pregnant or nursing. Pesticides have been shown to harm infants and unborn babies.
