Organic Food: Ten foods you should definitely buy -- organic -- for your young children
I believe successful computing also involves successful health
management. So you will receive articles like this one
periodically interspersed between computing articles. Poor
health produces poor computing.
1. Baby Foods: A 1995 report found 16 pesticides in
approximately half the non-organic baby food samples.
2. Rice: In California, rice fields have been sprayed with so
much pesticide that the groundwater has become contaminated.
3. Strawberries: 500 pounds of pesticide an acre is sprayed on
non-organic strawberries.
4. Cereal grains: 90% of tested non-organic wheat cereals were
found with pesticides according to a 1994 U.S. Food and Drug
Administration report.
5. Corn products: Processed foods containing corn (e.g. popcorn
and corn chips) were among the top 15 foods most likely to
expose children to unsafe doses of organophosphate pesticides.
6. Bananas: Non-organic bananas from Central and South America
are produced using benomyl (linked to birth defects) and
chloropyrifos (neurotoxin). 7. Green
Beans: A 1993 report found
that 7 percent of the non-organic beans imported from Mexico
contained residues of illegal pesticides.
8. Peaches: A recent US report stated that 5% of the non-organic
peach crop was TOO contaminated for children to eat.
9. Apple juice: Non-organic apple juice ranks second highest for
organophosphate residues.
10. Grapes and raisins: They very well may be the most pesticide
polluted fruit in North America.
With these statistics, we must become more vigilant about what
we feed our children and ourselves. This kind of contamination
can undoubtedly inhibit the healthy growth of our children.
