Going Organic Which Foods First Special Report

When going organic which foods first, is a question I get asked. This special report will answer this question and provide the reasoning...

First on the list would be organic fruits and organic vegetables. Conventional growing methods use exorbitant amounts of pesticides. Pesticides are not only toxic to the pests and weeds, but also to humans. The young and the old are at greater risk to these poisons.

The berry fruits are the most fragile and therefore are more difficult to remove the pesticides from the fruit. These fruits also receive a high amount of pesticides during growing. So, only buy strawberries and other berries organic.

Leaf vegetables should also be one of the first foods that you choose to make organic.

Next, if you purchase a lot of processed foods, make these organic. Processed foods would include your frozen dinners, prepared sauces, noodles, cookies, etc.

Of course, preparing fresh homemade meals with wholesome ingredients would be the ideal. But, this doesn't necessarily fit into your schedule. For these times, if at all possible make it organic.

Conventional foods have additives that are linked to illness, heart disease and obesity. Read your ingredient labels and avoid foods containing the following:

Next, would be the soy products. Approximately 80% of the world's soybean crop is genetically modified.

If your family eats plenty of soy products, move this one up in the list.

GM food has been around for about 10 years now. This is not nearly long enough to determine long term health effects. And since gm food doesn't have to be labeled, it would be near impossible to have a control group for a scientific study.

Soy products include the soy beverages, soy sauce, tofu, soy protein powder, soy energy bars, soy flour, soy cereals, and any of the fermented soy products. These products can be obtained in organic.

Alright, now you can add organic meat. These animals were fed an organic diet on an organic farm. Their meat isn't contaminated with pesticides, hormones or drugs.

The important thing when going organic which foods first - is to do it sensibly. Each effort you make will encourage you in the change. Have fun!
