| ORGANIC : "IT'S HEALTHY":
On average, organic food contains higher level of vitamin C and essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron and chromium as well as cancer-fighting antioxidants.
Organic produce is not covered in a cocktail of poisonous chemicals. Even though, the average conventionally-grown apple has 20-30 artificial poisons on its skin, even after rising! |

| "NO NASTY ADDITIVES":
Organic food doesn't contain food additives which can cause health problems such as heart disease, osteoporosis, migraines and hyperactivity. Amongst the additives banned by the organic certified products are hydrogenated fat, aspartame (artificial sweetener) and monosodium glutamate.
"AVOID PESTICIDES":
Over 400 chemical pesticides are routinely used in conventional farming and residues are often present in non-organic food. For example, the UK government has recently found high levels of pesticide residues in baby food, spinach, dried fruit, bread, apples, celery, and chips. "NO GM":
Going organic is the only practical way to avoid eating genetically modified (GM) food.
