Shocking Reasons Why You Should Go Organic

 As i was doing my daily research through CBS i came across an article about so interesting facts about why organic food is by far the best. Although Organic food is a bit expensive I found some reasons why you and your family may want to convert to organic. Studies prove that organic food has tons of nutrients and antioxidants. The pesticides in conventional farming reduce the fertility of the product you are eating. The chemicals in conventional food also can har4m your immune system leaving you susceptible to sickness. Also, new research has shown that conventional food has some agricultural chemicals that can interfere with your hormone levels and cause obesity. Meat is a huge topic of concern in conventional food, people are concerned about the chemicals and antibiotics that the cattle are eating. Organic livestock has an organic diet meaning the cows are fed what they should be fed normally. Studies have shown that grass fed beef has 60 percent more omega 3's, 200 percent more vitamin E, and 2 to 3 times as much cancer fighting fat called CLA. And the same goes for milk, it has 50 percent more vitamin E, 75 percent more beta-carotene(makes bones stronger), and 70 percent more omega 3's. Organic milk is surely free of growth hormones, which is important because growth hormones cause infertility of the milk and its been linked to breast and prostate cancer. Also in this article it has a list of foods and brands that are the best for you, and you should defiantly think about getting. i eat organic food and love it, even though it doesn't look right it still tastes the same and is way better for me. Here is a picture of cheddar bunnies a personal favorite of mine, its like cheese its or goldfish but it has no hydrogenated oils and no coloring or any else of that garbage.
