Why Organic for Your Baby

Children, with their smaller size, rapid growth rate and speedy metabolisms, are more vulnerable to developmental damage than adults.  Research shows that a child gets four times more exposure to pesticides in their foods than adults. Immature infant organs and body systems are more susceptible to damage from toxins in foods. Infant digestive tracts absorb toxins more easily, and young kidneys are inefficient at excreting toxins, allowing them to circulate longer in the body. Infants' diets are usually restricted to a small range of foods that may also place them at higher risk of pesticide exposure. Current regulations of acceptable pesticide residues allowed in conventional, non-organically grown food are based on standards developed for adult consumption, not children.  Children just cannot withstand that level of exposure. Also, research shows that organically grown foods may be more nutritious than conventionally grown foods. For example, organic fruits and vegetables have been shown to contain more vitamin C and are richer in some antioxidants such as polyphenolic compounds. Furthermore, organically grown grains may have better quality protein than non-organic grains.
