What's Wrong with Non-Organic Food? Chemical-dependent farming is bad for the health of farmers and their families. It produces unhealthy food and has an adverse affect on soil health as pests grow resistant to pesticides, reducing fertility. The value of nutrients is also imbalanced by excess use of chemical fertilizers. Due to increasing residues of these chemicals in the food we eat, these food products can lead to disorders & genetic deficiencies. Some pesticides significantly lower the vitamin levels in plants. The nutrients most often affected are vitamin C, beta-carotene, and the B vitamin, all of which are necessary for the body to withstand the onslaught of chemical toxins. |
