Does ORGANIC FOOD have arsenic levels in it?




Organic food is widely preferred nowadays by people all around. It is produced by standards that are similar to organic farming.  The methods may be different but cycle resources, promote ecological balance and conserve biodiversity are similar. So the consumption of organic food will be useful to maintain good health. Nutritional values in organic food are also more when compared to other foods that are produced by using pesticides.

This is one face of organic food. The other face is completely different when it comes to the crops which are harvested beside the highways. The soil is contaminated with substances that hurt the native environment. These substances are not only toxic for plants but also for humans too. As the soil is the “Earth’s Kidney,” contaminates can damage it.

Food maybe produced by traditional methods but the soil in which the crops are grown is contaminated. The crops in America have more arsenic levels then the crops grown in India and Pakistan. This arsenic will slowly accumulate in the body and may lead to cancers.

Consumption of staple foods such as rice, beverages such as apple juice, or vegetables grown in historically arsenic-contaminated soils are now recognized as tangible routes of arsenic exposure. When drinking-water arsenic concentrations are low, dietary arsenic can be a significant exposure. The sources of arsenic to crop plants and the factors that influence them is key to reducing human exposure now and preventing exposure in the future.

Plant uptake of arsenic was previously assumed to be too low, for drinking water, these low levels can still translate into significant exposures, particularly in children and presumably in adults who consume a lot of rice. Don’t just concentrate on your body health; keeping your surroundings hygiene is also essential at the time. Because one day the food which you think is full of nutritional values may be the food full of contaminates.
