The benefits of organic foods are not simply found in the consumption of the food themselves but the true benefits of organic foods are found in the way that they are produced. Conventional foods utilize chemicals to assist in their growth. These chemicals pollute the ground, as well as the water. They create dead zones in the Gulf, and more importantly, they destroy the soil in which the crops are grown. These chemicals, remember, are literally poisons, and they kill not only the weeds around the crops, but also the organisms in the soil that transfer nutrients and retain carbon.
It's this aspect of conventional farming that underscores the benefits of organic foods. Organic gardens do not use the poisons that conventional farms do, thus the soil structure remains vibrantly strong, holding on to carbon like good soil is supposed to. What does this mean to us? It means that the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are reduced, thus helping to reduce climate change symptoms. The residual poisons we eat with the conventional foods then lead to health issues, both known and unknown. While cancer, autism, heart disease, and numerous other health afflictions grow, some medical concerns have been traced directly to the chemicals used in our foods.
Other diseases and illnesses remain a mystery that each of us is left to gamble on, hoping that the levels of pesticide truly aren't "that bad" for us. The cumulative benefits of organic foods are too numerous to fully identify in one or two documents. The true total benefits of organic foods are more closely equal to the number of people on earth, in part, because that's who benefits the most, whether we're all able to partake of organic foods, or not.
