Organic Food Facts

Improved  Nutritional Intake

The health benefits of cancer-fighting anti-oxidants and more beneficial amino acids, vitamins and minerals in organic foods have been continually shown in many studies worldwide.


Lower Pesticides 
Organic farming prohibits the use of bug killers (pesticides), mold killers (fungicides), and weed killers (synthetic herbicides). Many of these pesticides have been classified as cancer causing agents.


Children Need it Most
Children's immature and developing organs, brains, and detoxification and immune systems, plus their larger intake of food per pound of body weight  make them even more susceptible to toxins than adults. Organic agriculture minimizes children’s exposure to toxic and persistent pesticides in the soil in which they play, the air they breathe, the water they drink, and the foods they eat.

Food Additives
Organic food production prohibits many additives - such as preservatives, artificial sweeteners, colourings and flavorings, MSG, hydrogenated fat, and phosphoric acid. Studies have shown that these contribute to hyperactivity in pre-school children.


Fertilizers and  Healthy Soil
Organic practices help protect ground water supplies and avoid runoff of chemicals that can cause "dead zones" in larger bodies of water. This is the result of organic agriculture which respects the balance of microorganisms in the soil. Organic producers use composted manure and other natural materials, as well as crop rotation, to help improve soil fertility, rather than petroleum-based synthetic fertilizers that can result in an overabundance of nitrogen and phosphorus in the ground.

The End Game
Increasing one's intake of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants and decreasing one's toxin burden can have a significant impact on health, especially when trying to improve or restore health.


Foundation for Health Crops
Organic agriculture builds the health of the soil, providing the foundation for healthy crops. In order to be certified organic, crops must be grown on land free of prohibited substances. 


International organic standards require producers to use organic agricultural methods and materials that cover soil fertility, the application of manure, crop rotation, and composting.  International organic standards prohibit the use of municipal solid waste and sewage sludge as compost ingredients.

Organic producers also must follow a List of Acceptable and Prohibited Materials concerning pest control treatments, fertilizers and seed treatments that they use. 


All agricultural materials must be evaluated for their long-term effects on the environment and not simply whether they are synthetic or natural.
