“Pros and Cons of Eating Organic

While buying organic foods may seem like the right thing to do for your health, the environment and your family, sometimes it’s difficult to justify the added expense. Plus, more food industry experts are starting to recommend choosing local foods over their organic counterparts, especially when it comes to foods where freshness really counts, like produce, dairy and meat.

So what’s a responsible, price-conscious consumer to do? Nutrition experts stress that while eating organic can be a smart way to reduce your exposure to potentially harmful chemicals, striving for a healthy diet that includes plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and limits processed grains, animal fats, sugar and salt is a far more effective way to boost your health.

What Does Organic Really Mean?

Organic foods are produced with little or no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides and are free of added antibiotics or hormones. In order to be called organic, a product must be certified by the United States Department of Agriculture. Don’t confuse “organic” with “natural” though. “There’s no legal definition of a natural food,” says Terrie Holewinski, RD, a cardiovascular dietitian at the University of Michigan Health System. “The food industry often uses the term ‘natural’ to mean minimally processed or preservative-free.”"

Keep in mind that organic fruits and vegetables are still picked green, thus losing alot of the nutritional value or the nutrients that each contain….or should contain.
