Top 7 Tips for the organic

In light of these studies, surprisingly few studies have compared the health consequences of consumption of organic and conventionally grown produce. Any fruits and vegetables are better than nothing. In one study, those who consumed the least amount of plant foods had the highest rates cancer, and those who ate the most products had the lowest cancer. Most pesticides are fat soluble. If you eat plants that have been treated with them, eating a small amount of waste that accumulates in fatty tissues, such as female breast tissue. But the real problem develops when you eat animal fat. Food-producing animals pesticides accumulate in fat tissue throughout life. When people eat, which have much higher levels than any of the factories of feed they ate. When people eat meat, consume most of the pesticides, the animals ate. The higher the food chain you eat, the most toxic chemicals ingested. Cleaner production is organic. Even organically grown fruits, vegetables, grains and beans can be picked up some contamination of pesticides, due to chemicals in groundwater, in the air from nearby farms or non-organic spray trucks and warehouses. But compared to conventionally grown produce, fruits and vegetables are much cleaner. If you opt for organic fruits and vegetables, the good news is they are more accessible than ever. Food stores, farmers markets and even some supermarkets now carry organic items called. To What are you waiting for?

Support 1. Your local farmers

Buy foods in season and encourage your supermarket to stock items Locally, they are less likely to be waxed and treated with post-harvest pesticides during transport and storage.

Scrub 2. Up

Wash all fruits and vegetables with a dilute solution of liquid detergent and water. Use a vegetable brush. Chop the spinach, broccoli, cauliflower and celery before washing.

3. Grow Your Own

No matter where you live, you can grow at least some of their own fruits and vegetables organically. If you do not buy products organic, you can still minimize your exposure to pesticides by paying attention to the above suggestions.

4. No Some research

Contact the state agriculture department or the local extension service of the references to organic producers in your area. Of the farmers contact and ask how to grow their production and where sold.

5. Know your Greengrocer

Talk to your grocery store or supermarket manager. Ask for organic products.

6. Buy your product by mail

It's easier than you think. Choose those closest to you to the freshest products and the lowest shipping costs. Root vegetables - carrots, turnips and kohlrabi - are excellent choices mail mail order. They ship well, and when conventional crops, root vegetables tend to accumulate higher levels of pesticides than other vegetables.

7. Exercise a little skepticism

Unless you trust the seller, not relying too heavily on handwritten signs. Look for certification label. Labels include "Farm-Verified Organic. "Organic Crop Improvement Association," Organic Growers and Buyers Association " and "California Certified Organic Farmers." Only California has a government regulated organic certification program. The other labels are awarded certification members of voluntary associations that undertake to comply with certain voluntary standards. However, any label is more reliable than a handwritten sign.

Organic products do not have the same risk of e-coli contamination as non-organic?

Are farmers Professional use different means of irrigation and / or fertalization or is the same, with the use of pestisides be the only difference between the two?

The use of manure to fertilize always carries a risk of e-coli contamination. There is also a risk if contaminated water is used for irrigation. There is also a risk of agricultural labor (the unwashed hands, relieving themselves in the field, etc.). The risks are approximately the same for non-organic to organic.
