Local Organic Food: Know What You Are EatingHow Can Your Be Sure That Your Local Organic Food Is Safe? The best way to know that your local organic food is safe is to look for the United States Department of Agriculture organic seal. Local organic food products that bear the seal of the US Department of Agriculture pass through strict regulations. These food products do not use synthetic pesticides, soil fumigants and herbicides so you need not worry about eating a cocktail of chemicals with your food. Moreover, local organic food products are not laden with growth hormones and antibiotics. Note that most conventional farmers use growth hormones and antibiotics to protect their crops and livestock. Since growth hormones and antibiotics are synthetic products, there is a big possibility that growth hormones and antibiotics can cause certain types of diseases such as cancer. Another reason why you should eat local organic food is that local organic food products are not tainted with genetically modified organisms. Genetically engineered organisms cannot be used in farms that are certified by the US Department of Agriculture as organic. Although scientists all over the world are still divided as to whether or not genetically modified organisms are harmful to the body, a lot of experts suggest that since these organisms are already altered there is a big possibility that it can cause some irregularities in the human system. Many of these experts suggest that there is a big possibility that genetically modified organisms can cause mutations in the human system and may trigger some forms of cancer. |
