Docs Say Choose Organic Food to Reduce Kids Exposure to Pesticides

This article supports the idea that organically grown food is better for you. The reason being, that “babies of female farm workers in California showed small but significant developmental and motor delays when their mothers were exposed to pesticides at levels similar to those deemed acceptable in conventionally grown produce while pregnant.” Although there have not been any studies done, there is no real concrete proof but, since childhood exposure to toxins is known to be harmful, organically grown produce is becoming a clearer choice for children.
