You should be particularly aware of toxins when it comes to food and water. Foods grown or raised using pesticides and chemicals can potentially be harmful to your health.

Fruits, vegetables, and other food products are grown using toxic and persistent pesticides, herbicides, soil fumigants, synthetic fertilizers, or other artificial inputs. Residues from the use of these hazardous materials can remain on or in the food itself. Children can be the most vulnerable to the neurotoxins in pesticides.

Eating organically grown food can substantially lower the levels of pesticide residues to which you are exposed.

Organic foods generally contain higher amounts of key nutrients like vitamins A, C, E, B-group vitamins, zinc, fiber, and minerals such as calcium when compared to conventionally grown samples of the same varieties. In addition, organic foods contain fewer carcinogenic nitrates.
