Pros to Eating Organic Foods

The most obvious reason to why we should buy organic foods is to avoid pesticides, antibiotics and hormones that have been sprayed on or pumped into our food system. But what's the big deal? Our bodies can handle a few measley chemicals, can't they? Well, it depends on where you stand on long term illness. If it is something you never think about, then think about this. It can take up to thirty years for diseases like cancer to manifest into a diagnosable form from its beginning stages. To date there are no studies that will link pesticides to disease (says the article in the March issue of Time Magazine written by John Cloud). However, it is no secret that these chemicals cause damage on a cellular level. It also is known that after many years of this kind of damage all sorts of malfunctions can occur.

So to do our best in avoiding as much damage to our bodies that we can control, then eating organically is a step in the right direction!
