  • Please site proof from official sources. Organic can protect you from things like and not limited to. Taken from links I already posted.

    Materials or methods not allowed in organic farming include:

    Artificial (synthetic) fertilizers to add nutrients to the soil
    Sewage sludge as fertilizer
    Most synthetic pesticides for pest control
    Using radiation (irradiation) to preserve food or to get rid of disease or pests
    Using genetic technology to change the genetic makeup (genetic engineering) of crops, which can improve disease or  pest resistance, or to improve crop harvests
    Antibiotics or growth hormones for farm animals (livestock)
    




  • News that just broke about the chemical Chlormequat found in regular oatmeal and oat base products. That causes reduced fertility, altered fetal growth and delayed puberty among other health issues. The tested organic versions did not have Chlormequat. Also eggs and certain vegetables I can tell the difference. Eggs you see it in the color of the yoke. Stuff I only ever saw back when I got them right from a farm years ago. If anything buy a quality brand you know does good. In the US things like certified humane and pasture raised can also be good to look for. Organic is not perfect but it has more requirements that must be followed for safety. I think Jon Oliver had a episode where the issue is not the label. It is we need more random USDA inspectors. Which Trump cut back during his years.
