ORGANICS
Organic Food is more nutritious for you and your family

Choosing organic is the best way to avoid pesticides in your food. Organic farmers predominantly use natural methods to control pests, and this in turn produces a cleaner harvest of good quality food.
Some pesticides can be stored in your body's fatty tissues for years. This raises concern about these pesticides being carcinogenic (cancer causing), mutagenic (causing birth defects) and neurotoxic (damaging to your nervous system).
A non-organic apple can be sprayed up to 16 times with 36 different chemicals, many of which cannot simply be washed off. In the UK, the latest Government tests (carried out in 2005) found pesticides in 80% of non-organic apple samples.
Organic is a better choice
No other food has higher amounts of beneficial minerals, essential amino acids and vitamins than organic food.
Take organic milk for example; according to research carried out by scientists across Europe, organic milk has nearly 70% more essential fatty acid omega-3 than its non-organic equivalent. Essential fatty acids are essential for maintaining normal bodily functions.
Organic milk contains significantly more vitamin E and beta-carotene, an antioxidant that our body converts to vitamin A.
One of the reasons that milk from organic cows is so good is because they eat a much more natural diet, grazing freely on fresh grass and clover. In comparison, most non-organic cows eat a more grain-based diet containing cereals, maize and protein supplements.
Make health your biggest concern
Food is in our headlines every week. Connections to disease are being drawn to artificial ingredients, additives and flavorings, and are increasingly coming under the public's spotlight for safety, with good reason.
People are eating organic because they believe it is a better way to feed themselves and their family.
Research shows that organic food is more nutritious for you and your family, as it contains more vitamins and minerals, and less poisonous substances you do not need - pesticides, additives and drugs.
