"The Link Between Benzene and Organic Food" November 19, 2007 According to research eating organically can do more than most realize these days, it can potentially help you to maintain your health. Organic farmers don't use chemicals such as benzene in their pesticides and fertilizers, which is beneficial to both the environment and to humans and animals. Eating Organically Prevents Benzene Exposure Organic food has been proven to be the best way to reduce exposure to toxins like benzene and other harmful substances that could potentially cause illness and death. These toxins known to exist are not only pesticides, which have been federally classified as potential cancer-causing agents, but also include heavy metals like lead and mercury along with solvents such as benzene and toluene. Minimizing exposure to these harmful substances can prevent nerve damage, anemia and various cancers. Study Suggests Eating Organically is Better In an experiment, 36 rats were divided into three groups. Each group was given potatoes, carrots, peas and apple, along with the same vitamin supplements. One group was fed organic food, the other was fed conventionally grown food with high levels of fertilizers including some pesticide, and the last group was given minimally fertilized conventional foods. In conclusion, the researchers found that the group of rats that were fed the organic foods were noticeably healthier than those who were not. The rats that were fed organically reportedly slept better, had stronger immune systems and were less obese.
