Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between organic food and inorganic?
Organic food is made without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farming practices promote soil health, water quality and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods can be grown using pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. Irradiated foods are treated with radiation; genetically modified organisms (GMO) are created through biological engineering techniques.
Sometimes, the term "natural", is used interchangeably with "organic." However, natural does not necessarily mean organic. You may also find products that are labeled as "natural", which could contain synthetic ingredients.
Because organic produce contains fewer harmful chemicals, pesticides, and fertilizers than conventional produce it is more nutritious. Organic farmers do not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones, anti-biotics, and other harmful chemicals.
Is organic meat better?
This question is probably answered if you've been paying close attention. But here's the rub, organic food is becoming more popular while conventional food continues to fall out of favour.
The reason why organic foods continue to rise in popularity is that they are healthier for us. In addition to being safer for our health, organic products also help the environment by reducing pollution and waste.
But there are two sides to this coin. Organic produce takes more time to grow and requires greater resources. Organic food can be more expensive than its nonorganic counterpart.
Organic meats are generally more expensive than conventionally raised animals. However, there are ways to reduce these costs without sacrificing quality.
Locally grown produce is a great way to save money. Buying locally grown fruits and vegetables helps keep prices low because farmers receive incentives to grow healthy crops.
You can also look for deals to reduce costs. You may be able to get discounts when you buy organics.
Another way to save money? Eat less meat. Meat production can be costly due to the feed needed to raise livestock.
While there are many reasons organic food is better for our bodies as well as the planet, we must not forget the cost.
What are some organic skin products?
Organic skincare products don't contain any synthetic chemicals such as parabens or phthalates.
Organic skincare products are free from artificial colours, fragrances and preservatives.
They also have the ability to support healthy skin, prevent premature ageing, promote healing after injuries and overall well-being.
These are some of the terms that you will see when you shop for organic products
- Paraben Free is a grouping of chemicals that are used to maintain certain cosmetic products safe, but can be toxic when consumed in large quantities.
- Fragrance-Free – The product does not contain essential oils or perfumes.
- Cruelty-Free - No animals were harmed during the manufacturing process.
- Natural Ingredients are ingredients that have been naturally extracted from plants or animals.

- Gluten-Free: This is when gluten was eliminated from the formulation.

- Biodegradable - The product will eventually be broken down into harmless parts when it is disposed of.
- Pesticide-Free – No pesticides were used in the growing or harvesting of crops.
- GMO-Free is a declaration that the product does not contain genetically modified organisms.
- Certified Organic means that all the ingredients have been grown using methods that protect the soil and water as well as wildlife and farmers.
Organic foods are better for us.
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.
Studies have also shown that organic foods reduce the risk of mercury and lead poisoning. A study concluded that children who ate organic meat had 33% lower levels of blood lead than those who didn’t. Another study concluded conventional fish consumption should be stopped by pregnant women because it contains 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.

How To
What happens to the body when you switch over to organic products
Organic products can be grown without synthetic fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics. They come only from natural sources of water and free-range animals. Organic products are those that do not contain chemicals or other additives. This product was created by nature, and therefore does not contain harmful substances.
The term "natural", refers only to how food was grown. It's usually used to describe foods not processed into their final form (such as fruits). Natural foods are often more fresh than others, because they haven’t been processed with heat, radiation or chemical preservations. Some people think natural does not necessarily mean healthy. Experts believe there is no difference in organic and conventional food. Both types are tested for safety as well as quality. Organic produce is less likely to contain pesticide residues and pollutants than conventionally grown produce.
In general, most grocery stores now offer organic options. For organic meats, poultry, eggs and seafood, you should check with your local supermarket. Some companies sell only organic products; others have separate sections for them. Look for USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Biodynamic Association Certified, Rainforest Alliance Certified, etc.
If you are pregnant, or nursing, these products should not be eaten. Pesticides are known to affect unborn babies and infants.
