Watch: Peer Review Study Confirms Organics Reduce Pesticides in Our Bodies

All of us are exposed to a cocktail of toxic synthetic pesticides linked to a range of health impacts from our daily diets. Certified organic food is produced without these pesticides. But can eating organic really reduce levels of pesticides in our bodies?

In this peer-reviewed study, Friends of the Earth Action compared pesticide levels in the bodies of four American families for six days on a non-organic diet and six days on a completely organic diet. They found that eating organic works. An organic diet rapidly and dramatically reduced exposure to pesticides in just one week. Levels of all detected chemicals dropped an average of 60.5 percent with a range of 37 percent to 95 percent depending on the compound.
