Conventionally grown food can have chemical pesticide residues. Pesticides have been linked to a variety of health impacts. And kids are most vulnerable. You can easily reduce a child’s exposure to these chemicals by avoiding produce that typically has high levels of residue and choosing those with low levels instead. In a 2003 study published in Environmental Health Perspectives, schoolchildren were tested for pesticides in their bodies. Those who ate an organic diet had one-sixth the amount compared to those who ate a conventionally grown diet. When you want one of the most frequently contaminated foods, select an organically grown product instead.
