Organic foods are getting a lot of hype these days, making many people wonder exactly how does organic food affect your body. One answer to that question is that it doesn’t. Let me explain. The benefits of eating only organic foods is not how it affects your body, but the lack of pesticides and hormones that can adversely affect your health and well being. Foods grown using pesticides, and meats and dairy fed hormones, leave residues that can cause cancer, memory loss and other health problems. So, how does organic food affect your body? It doesn’t. What it does do is give your body the fresh unaltered fuel that it needs.
