Why You Should Eat Organic Foods
There are many things in our society today that are causing disease, illnesses, and ailments. The main reason for so many conditions in our world is the food we eat. Foods loaded with pesticides and other toxins are slowly killing our bodies rendering our immune system too weak to handle the onslaught of disease that enters through various avenues.
One of the best defenses for the body is whole organic foods. Organic fruits and vegetables are not genetically modified. Organic plants are grown with no pesticides, artificial fertilizers, human waste or sewage sludge and they have been processed without ionizing radiation or food additives. Organic meat has been raised without antibiotics or the use of growth hormones. In other words, organic foods are produced naturally without any man-made chemicals.
Knowing this, there are so many reasons why eating organic foods is beneficial.
Your body can fight disease, bacteria and viruses when it is fed organic food. There are no chemicals in the food and you are adding a more wholesome option when you eat organic. Many of the chemicals found in non-organic foods have been linked to many types of cancer. By eating more organic foods, your body will be healthy and in turn you have more strength and energy.
Organic foods contain at least 50% more nutrients, vitamins, and minerals than their non-organic counterparts. Food that has been chemically altered in any way has far less nutritional value and therefore is not as healthy for your body.
The same growth hormones and antibiotics that are added to many foods that we eat, like chicken, enter the human body. These hormones and antibiotics may be cause early maturation in children, especially young girls. Eating a diet rich in organic foods help to assure that your child will mature as nature intends.
4. Because organic foods are lower in fat it helps to fight and prevent obesity. Health experts warn that a diet high in fatty food lead to heart disease, stroke, and other life threatening diseases. A diet filled with organic foods helps to prevent these conditions and keep weight down.
Antibiotics found in non-organic foods are a direct cause of allergies. Many of the allergies people suffer can be avoided by eating organic foods.
Organic fruits and vegetables are not only grown using nature but they taste better as well. When you eat organic you get the full flavor of the food you are eating without added toxins that tend to ruin the true taste.
Organic foods safeguard against toxic metals like cadmium, lead and mercury. Heavy metals damage nerve functions and block hemoglobin production which leads to anemia. The same metals are also linked to a lower IQ and disease such as multiple sclerosis.
In addition to the above reasons, by eating organic foods you are helping to save the environment and supporting small scale local farmers. Keep in mind also that contrary to popular belief, purchasing organic foods is not always expensive and there are many ways to purchase it at a lower cost.
Take the time to learn about the benefits of organic food and apply it to your daily eating habits. It will change your body and your life.
Everyone says organic food is better for you and better for the environment. But is that true, or is it just eco-marketing rhetoric?

LOL alright, just another video i have watched off this channel trying to get people to be more unhealthier, follow the government, and not think for ourselves. awesome.
im going to continue eating organic and not slowly dying from all the chemicals , and im going to continue to not getting vaccines i don’t need, that paralyze people.
@LonesomeTroubadour Most studies suggest organic is healthier/more nutritious than conventional food. I posted 13 peer reviewed review studies suggesting organic is healthier/more nutritious, in these comments on May 21. If you believe this video I challenge you to find 13 peer reviewed review studies that say organic isn`t healthier/more nutritious.
What a load of industry BS!!!! “Newly developed seed strains”…hahahaha…. They are talking about genetically modified organisms… but they won’t even use the term!!! If they think Monsanto’s poison is safe, why do they brainwash with fluffy terms? What a load of lies. INFACT, this man is taking money to promote unsafe gmo garbage.
Organic food is no healthier than “regular” food and is overpriced nonsense.
@jamesluc256 @thedantheman7777 @DiscoDude82 If you believe this video, then accept my challenge. I provided 13 review studies suggesting organic food is healthier/more nutritious than conventional, this video claims there are more studies that find no difference, but I only found 3 review studies suggesting this. Can you find 11 additional review studies suggesting no difference?
@graphattic Finally! A stand up comedian that is actually smart…
@freetruth80 Go ahead and eat you “natural,” more expensive, less efficient food. If it tastes better to you, then the organic marketers have done their jobs.
How about “no facts”. Organic is normal. Chemicals are extraordinary. K.I.S.S.
monsanto shill …
Graphattic – So what? But regardless so did Bill Maher, that doesn’t keep left wing idiots for getting their news from him.
I hope you all know this guy used to be a stand up comedian right?
Wow! Frightening. I hope no one with cancer watches your video and believes it. If you want to eat vegetables doused in chemicals like Agent Orange or “newly developed seed strains” which have no history of what they will do to our bodies and that are outlawed by several industrial nations, by all means go ahead. But your rhetoric is dangerous and you should be very careful before you spread it.
@DLandonCole @MTM9559 @Poxypriest @4Okt1979SevSisKSC @ThomasGGebert @HecticSkeptic @leoncolombo @theskepticalheretic My search results show 13 review studies suggesting organic is healthier/has more nutrients and only 3 review studies suggesting no difference(all posted in these comments), I must challenge you to provide an additional 11 review studies suggesting no difference, to validate the claim in this video “a larger number of studies that find no difference at all.”
@ArcanaKnight UN and World Bank report, the International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development, done by 400 scientists, concluded that biotech crops have very little potential to alleviate poverty and hunger. Robert Watson, the director of the IAASTD, and chief scientist at the UK DEFRA, responded to a question from the newspaper, The Daily Mail – Are GM crops the simple answer to hunger and poverty? with the words, “I would argue, no.”

@tdietz20 “Several convergent data appear to indicate liver and kidney problems as end points of GMO diet effects in the above-mentioned experiments. This was confirmed by our meta-analysis of all the in vivo studies published, which revealed that the kidneys were particularly affected, concentrating 43.5% of all disrupted parameters in males, whereas the liver was more specifically disrupted in females (30.8% of all disrupted parameters).” enveurope”dot”com/content/23/1/10
@tdietz20 “Animal toxicity studies with certain GM foods have shown that they may toxically affect several organs and systems.”"The results of most studies with GM foods indicate that they may cause some common toxic effects such as hepatic, pancreatic, renal, or reproductive effects and may alter the hematological, biochemical, and immunologic parameters.” ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18989835

@tdietz20 “Diets containing genetically modified (GM) potatoes expressing the lectin Galanthus nivalis agglutinin (GNA) had variable effects on different parts of the rat gastrointestinal tract. Some effects, such as the proliferation of the gastric mucosa,were mainly due to the expression of the GNA transgene.” biotech-info”dot”net/Lancet_St udy.pdf “The GM-fed D. magna had lower survival (lx) than the UM-fed D. magna throughout the experiment” ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/ PMC2811247/
@tdietz20 FDA doesn’t usually test GMOs. FDA website “Because FDA determined that bioengineered foods should be regulated like their conventional counterparts, FDA has not to date established any regulations specific to bioengineered food.” ” FDA established an informal process by which firms can inform the Agency that they have completed a food or feed safety assessment. FDA requests that firms submit a summary of their assessment to the Agency.” GMO manufacturers test the GMOs, not the FDA.
I sometimes notice that the organic vegetables and fruits look better and taste better that the commercially produced products. I don’t think that they are any better for for. I doubt that eating just organic products will make any noticeable change in your life with the exception of making you a little more poorer.
Organic Food is rarely Pesticide Free. It is grown in Cow Manure that is high in bacteria.
“It is as nutritious as an other product.” – Catherine Dimateeo of the Organic Trade association.
Is it more nutritious?

More expensive-not more nutritious.
only if bought at a local farm
organic doesn’t mean healthy if its not really organic.
I have seen the local market put stickers on reg food to get more money
