Five Reasons Why Organic Matters
Nutrition-packed. Independent studies show that organic food has a higher content of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and antioxidants — sometimes even up to 20 times more than non-organic food! For our body, this means that we get full easily because our body packs in more nutrition with less food.
The whole, organic ingredients like the guava and neem leaves generally have a wider array of healing compounds and additional benefits than their “natural extract” counterparts.
Health and Safety. Many pesticides approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) were registered long before extensive research linked these to cancer and other diseases. Now, the EPA considers 60% of herbicides, 90% of fungicides, and 30% of insecticides as potentially cancer-causing. Consumer Organic food production also bans the use of artificial food additives such as hydrogenated fats which lead to trans fats, phosphoric acid, aspartame, and MSG linked to health problems as diverse as heart disease, osteoporosis, migraines, and hyperactivity.
