Organic To the Fullest


A California doctor has conducted an interesting experiment over the past three years on himself: eating only organic. The New York Times article, "The 100% Organic Man," explores his findings in more detail.


Pediatrician Alan Greene chose three years as his goal because that's the amount of time of exclusive organic eating required for livestock to be labeled organic.


Certain studies suggest that organic produce has up to twice the nutrients than conventionally grown produce. Dr. Greene notes feeling healthier in many ways, including more energy and less illness. Another added benefit is that an organic way of life has an infinitely more positive impact on our environment and our planet.
