[gi...] Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Is it worth it to go organic? Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Re...] Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I don't think anyone knows whether it is personally worth it until after 30-40 years. I have chosen to use some organic and some mainstream products. There is a list on this website: https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/summary.php of the dirtiest and cleanest fruits and vegetables in terms of residual pesticide. I buy organic vegetables for "the dirty dozen", and non-organic for the cleanest. I try to buy meat and poultry which are labeled antibiotic free, but don't worry much about GMOs. Hope this helps.

Yeah, another thing is to bathe in baking soda for 15 minutes as recommended by the FDA, and peel the skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Aj...] Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I try to keep any dairy and meat I eat organic because crap can be stored in fat. Also soft fruit tends to get sprayed with a lot of pesticides. Other than that if I can afford to I do if not I don’t worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am careful about what I eat, meaning, I eat everything except processed food. And all this organic food hoopla, who knows what it's all about? Take care and thanks again.

[...] Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Organic is normal/mainstream. Chemical laden food is not mainstream - it's new agey and odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[So...] Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Well, I suppose one has to do own's best judgement, a bit or education, and experimentation. I buy a lot of frozen organic veggies/fruits. They a bit more expensive, but to me is worth it; but also I buy mainstream, local, and on season. I can tell, for example, that certain organic fruits like strawberries, apples, pears, grapes taste better; so I buy them when I can afford them. If you are eating mainly whole-foods and not processed ones, you are on the right path. Especially during this benzo mess, one has to eat as clean as possible I believe.
