In our quest for healthy eating and changing our lifestyle...the topic we just can't ignore is organic! To eat healthy truly isn't cheap as we all know...so what should we feed our family? Organic stamped on products are even more expensive! Here are some do's and don'ts - fewer pesticides and more nutrients is the goal. But, some eat organic for environmental reasons so let put that to bed. ScienceDaily (June 23, 2010) — Consumers shouldn't assume that, because a product is organic, it's also environmentally friendly. Here's the link if you would like to read the entire article http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/06/100622175510.htm
Now let us address the fewer pesticides and more nutrients issue. After researching this topic at great length...there is many opinions on the issue. The one common thread I found was the "dirty dozen" and the "clean 15".
The list of the dirty dozen you should eat organic contain: Apples, Celery, Strawberries, Peaches, Spinach, Nectarines, Grapes, Sweet Bell Peppers, Potatoes, Blueberries, Lettuce, Kale/Collard Greens.
The Clean 15 consists of: Onions, Corn, Pineapple, Avocado, Asparagus, Sweet Peas, Mango, Eggplant, Cantaloupe, Kiwi, Cabbage, Watermelon, Sweet Potatoes, Grapefruit, and Mushrooms.
So the bottom line, there is NO scientific proof to support organic or not!!
