Tag: Organic myths

According to a 2012 meta-analysis published in the *Annals of Internal Medicine*, there is very little difference in the nutritional content between organic and conventional foods, though organic foods often have fewer pesticide residues. This leads many to question: is organic stuff really better for you?

According to USDA regulations, the term "organic" on a product does not always mean it is 100% organic, as labels can reflect different percentages of organic ingredients. This crucial distinction helps answer the question, "Are all organic ingredients actually organic?" and empowers consumers to understand what they are truly purchasing.

Contrary to a popular belief repeated by many consumers, the label 'organic' does not mean no chemicals are used. This common misconception overlooks the fact that both naturally-derived and a limited number of synthetic substances can be part of organic farming practices, all under strict regulatory approval.
