According to Maria Rodale, chairman and CEO of Rodale Inc., publisher of Women's Health, choosing to buy organic foods can improve your health and the environment. While eliminating toxic chemicals where the food is grown, you're supporting locally grown foods and promoting a healthier planet. Rodale says that organic farming can actually slow global warming, as well.
Conventional farming uses chemicals that are known to cause many health problems, including allergies, asthma, diabetes, obesity and more. According to Rodale, you can lessen your risk of many serious health conditions by switching to organic foods.
"Organic foods are grown without any artificial chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and insecticides, sewage sludge (which often includes toxic pharmaceuticals and cleaning supplies), or GMOs (genetically modified organisms)," Rhodale explains. "If it's an animal, it is fed organic food and raised without the use of artificial growth hormones, antibiotics or GMOs."
