Common Questions
Organic Baby represents a commitment to feed your baby only the very best that nature has to offer. Our children are little treasures who ultimately deserve the very best in life. Going organic means that you’re helping your family and the environment. The best start a baby can get in life is first by getting nourishment from her mother’s milk. After 6 months babies start to eat solid foods. The best food to start them on is organic vegetables followed by organic fruits. Many people think that conventional and organic are nearly the same, but there is actually a very big difference between the two. Conventional produce is made with synthetic pesticides and herbicides that soak into the skin of the fruit and vegetables ultimately polluting the food and our environment. Research is now showing that pesticides contribute to respiratory illnesses and some cancers. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers 60% of all herbicides, 90% of all fungicides and 30% of all insecticides as potentially cancer causing. According to the U.S. General Accounting Office, only one percent of all imported fruits and vegetables are tested by the Food and Drug Administration for illegal pesticide residues, and recent studies show that some of these chemicals used in pesticides may be associated with genetic mutation, birth defects, and nerve damage.
Pesticides can also damage the nervous system and impair brain function. Babies and young children are more vulnerable to the harmful effects of these chemicals during their crucial stage of development. Many parents feel that pesticides in small amounts can't hurt our children however even in small amounts the body stores these excess pesticides in the tissues, skin and organs. The chemicals used to grow conventional produce also harm’s our planet and our environment for generations to come. These chemicals contaminate ground water and cause soil to erode. These are poisons that are made to kill living organisms and therefore are harmful to humans.
Organic fruits and vegetables provide essential nutrients needed for a growing baby. Organic food is unique and superior to conventionally grown food. Organic food is cleaner more nutrient dense and pure. Organic food is best as it is more power packed with antioxidants such as vitamins A, C and E. It takes longer to produce organic vegetables and fruits. This means they are less likely to be mass- produced and therefore they retain more nutrients. The food choices you make now will greatly impact your child in the future.
