Story at-a-glance
- Choosing organic foods lowers your exposure to pesticides linked to cancer, damage to children’s IQ and neurobehavioral development and other health problems
- Organic foods are produced without genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and the use of antibiotics for preventive purposes is prohibited — both major benefits to human health and the environment
- Organically grown foods contain significantly higher levels of antioxidants and healthy fats than conventionally grown varieties
- Organic products are now available in close to 20,000 natural food stores and 3 out of 4 conventional grocery stores in the U.S.
