There are many mixed opinions regarding organic versus conventional foods. However, it is
evident that more and more consumers are choosing to purchase organic food items these
days. With the growth of Whole Foods and various health food stores, organic meats and
produce have become more widely available. Even mainstream supermarkets have gotten on
the bandwagon and have begun to carry a few organic items.
Although it would be preferable to consume nothing but organic products, this is often not
feasible due to cost and availability factors. I believe it is important to eat organic dairy products
and avoid the "Dirty Dozen" produce items that contain the most residual pesticides.
According to Dr. Weil (http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/ART02985/Foods-You-Should-Always-Buy-Organic...), these include:
- Celery
- Peaches
- Strawberries
- Apples
- Blueberries (Domestic)
- Nectarines
- Sweet Bell Peppers
- Spinach
- Collard Greens/Kale
- Cherries
- Potatoes
- Grapes (Imported)
By reducing the amount of pesticides you ingest, you reduce your risk of health consequences.
Although the jury is still out on the exact risks, it seems obvious that less pesticide and chemical
consumption equals more likelihood of health and wellness. Going organic benefits your body
as well as the planet. Studies have shown that pesticides contaminate ground water and
promote soil erosion.
Bottom line: avoid the "Dirty Dozen" and try to purchase organic versions of the foods you eat
most frequently.
