One question that is clearly popping up in current health conversations is whether there are any health benefits of eating organic food, and if it is worth the time and the effort. Many people don’t know much about organic food and why some people chose to go completely organic. The issue has spilled over into the mainstream community in the past couple of years because multiple studies and findings have come together to reveal and tell all about the truth concerning our food and our lifestyle. Scientists and many medical doctors around the world are coming to an agreement on one thing: Chemicals are poisoning us and creating a lifestyle that does not support and maintain good health.
The average person in America living on a non organic diet is exposed to nearly 10,000 pounds of chemical additives and preservatives by the time they reach age 65. Now, most people who don’t believe in eating organic food will claim that chemicals in food are in such small amounts that they wont hurt us. Every person has a different perspective on what a ‘’small amount” might be, but I can hardly think that anyone would admit that 10,000 pounds is a small amount. Medical Doctor Joan Morgan points out that ”Last year each of us, on average, swallowed three pounds of flavorings, coloring, preservatives, glazes, anti spattering agents, emulsifiers, bleaches, and other additives with our food.”
