Organic food is better for children’s diets as it dramatically lowers exposure to dangerous pesticides linked to neurological problems, according to a new report funded by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
The study, carried out by Emory University researcher Chensheng “Alex” Lu PhD, confirmed that organic diets lower children’s dietary exposure to organophosphorus pesticides used in US agricultural production that previous research has linked to causes of adverse neurological effects in animals and humans.
In fact, it demonstrated that replacing children’s non-organic diets with organic food items substantially decreased the pesticide concentration to non-detectable levels.
