ONE MORE REASON TO GO ORGANIC

It’s well established that by opting for organic produce, you
are avoiding the exposure to synthetic herbicides and
pesticides that can disrupt neurotransmitter function and

increase your risk for certain neurodegenerative diseases.^25
Here’s another reason to look for the organic label: the use
of synthetic pesticides and herbicides on produce can
dramatically handicap the plants’ creation of their own

defense mechanisms—the very polyphenols we want.^26
Many studies that compare vitamin content of
conventionally grown produce with that of organically
grown produce overlook this point. The most health-
promoting nutrients in these plants are not always vitamins
but the natural defense compounds that, when consumed,
stoke genetic restoration pathways in us.
