Organic Dairy and Children Organic milk and meat enhances the nutritional quality of breast milk - up to 36% higher levels of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) due to greater reliance on pasture and forage grasses  in organic dairy and meat  production.

Can Organic Feed the World?
[object Object],[object Object],Organic, World Hunger and the UN United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization,  Organic Agriculture and Food Security , May 2007 UNCTAD, UNEP, Organic Agriculture and Food Security in Africa, Oct. 2008
In developed countries, organic systems produce 92% of the yield produced by conventional agriculture.  In developing countries, however, organic systems produce 80% more than conventional farms and could increase food security. “ Organic Agriculture and the Global Food Supply, ”  Ivette Perfecto, et. al., University of Michigan,  Renewable Agriculture and Food Systems , July 2007 Organic in Developing Countries

Pesticides and Human Health Two-thirds of U.S. teenagers have at least one of the five conditions that constitute metabolic syndrome.   Source:  That First Step,  The Organic Center Critical Issue Report, C. McCullum-Gomez, C. Benbrook, R. Theuer, March 2009.
“ The average child in America is exposed to  10 to 13 pesticides  daily in their food and drinking water. Switching to an organic diet for just five days virtually eliminates any sign of exposure to organophosphate insecticides among school-age children. ” Source:  Reducing Pesticide Exposures Critical Issues Report , The Organic Center, August 2006; Dr. Charles Benbrook, The Organic Center data, 2009.

Genetic Engineering ,[object Object],[object Object]
GM Corn and Health Italian researchers found significant disturbances in the immune system of young and old mice fed GM maize (MON810), and elevated levels of a cell type known to be associated with asthma and food allergies in children. According to results from a long-term feeding study with mice, researchers in Austria concluded that consumption of a genetically modified corn developed by Monsanto (NK603 x MON810) may lead to lower fertility and body weight and impaired gene expression. Sources : Finamore A., et. al., "Intestinal and peripheral immune response to MON810 maize ingestion in weaning and old mice,"  Journal of Food and Agricultural Chemistry , November 16, 2008. Austrian Ministry of Health, Family and Youth, Nov. 11, 2008.

GM Corn and Health Italian researchers found significant disturbances in the immune system of young and old mice fed GM maize (MON810), and elevated levels of a cell type known to be associated with asthma and food allergies in children. According to results from a long-term feeding study with mice, researchers in Austria concluded that consumption of a genetically modified corn developed by Monsanto (NK603 x MON810) may lead to lower fertility and body weight and impaired gene expression.
