As the world becomes more industrialized, chemicals are increasingly being incorporated into our daily lives. These chemicals are included in most things that people use as basic necessities including personal care products, beverages food, and worst, baby food. The truth of the matter is that these chemicals are often unnecessary in the products itself but are included only therein for marketing purposes like color and fragrance and for profit reasons like increased shelf life.

Imagine if these chemicals can have great fatal potential to an adult, what then more to Infants & newborns?

Since toxic products are just about anywhere, including our homes, parents must adapt a preventive attitude before everything is too late. The first thing that needs to be done is to choose intelligently what goes in your baby’s body, which means that you must only introduce to your baby, food that have no chemicals or harmful substance – such as ORGANIC FOOD!

Infants & newborns have fragile systems and the effect of chemicals on their delicate bodies especially the nervous, immune and endocrine systems are graver compared to adults. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), infants and children may be especially sensitive to health risks posed by pesticides for several reasons:

•     Their internal organs are not fully developed and mature.

•     Based on their body weight, infants and children eat and drink more than adults do; hence, increasing the possibility of pesticide exposure in water and food.

•     Pesticides could hamper the absorption of important nutrients in food that could have an effect on a developing child’s healthy and normal growth.

•     Exposure to toxic substances during the "critical periods" of a child’s development may affect his biological system permanently.

That is why, the EPA, as required by the Food Quality Protection Act (1996), conducts research to assess the exposure of children to pesticides in water and in common foods like apples, oranges and their juices; sugar; potatoes and tomatoes; eggs and meats like pork, beef and chicken.
