I know that a lot of people are turning to all organic diets. Is organic food really more nutritious than normal food? Why is non organic food bad for you? Do YOU follow an all organic diet? Why or why not? Thanks.

practises for producing organic food is less harmful for the environment as conventional famring uses chemicals that are washed into the waterways and out to the sea causing considerable damage and imbalances in the marine eco system.
There have been studies done that prove that there are more nutrients – vitamins and minerals in organic food (although I can’t remember the links).
Pesticides and fungicides which are sprayed on to foods are highly toxic – if they are designed to kill insects (life) then they are also going to be harmful to humans.
There is also the environment to consider, organic farming looks after the land and the soil. Farming with pesticides and herbicides destroys the soil and the environment.
I eat as much organic food as I can. It’s not always possible to get everything organic.
Of course what the others have said is also important, eating organic food which is then fried or coated with sugar is not going to be healthy, you need to look at your whole diet – eat as much fresh raw fruits and vegetables as you can and limit processed foods.
It is important to keep your body a little bit on the alkaline side. Certain foods tend to be either acidic or alkaline, and it is important to eat more alkaline.
Cancer grows in a more acidic environment. It also feeds off of sugar.
So an organic diet is good, but more important is what foods are acidic and which ones are alkaline.

Well, organic food is basically healthier, whether it has more fiber, less calories, more vitamins, etc.
No I do not currently follow an organic diet. The reason? It just never really crossed my mind, and i don’t think I’d be up to eating other kinds of food that I don’t necessarily like. Just my opinion!

One of the huge advantages of organic foods is that they haven’t been doused in pesticides.
Organic foods can be more nutritious, richer in vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids than non-organic.
Genetically modified – GM – food isn’t used in organic products.
none of the additives lurking in processed and fast food are permitted in organic foods.
the flavour is just so much better.
Non organic food is not bad for you but its just not as healthy as non organic. Although I dont follow an all organic diet( mainly because the price difference) I do give my daughter all organic simply because she is just a baby.
