Organic: If you're a parent or you're expecting, this word likely passes
your lips regularly. It describes produce that is grown without
potentially harmful pesticides. Sure, many experts insist such chemicals
are safe. But with a baby in the house or on the way, you're probably
more vigilant about what goes into your body and your child's, and with
good reason.
"Babies eat more than adults, pound for pound, and are more
vulnerable to environmental toxins," says Alan Greene, MD, pediatrician
and author of Raising Baby Green.
To lower your chemical load, you don't need to take an all-or-nothing
approach. Start with a change or two based on what your family regularly
eats.
