Good reasons to choose organic foods.
A new research paper published in Environmental Science & Technology has been proven that your child gets in a wide range of toxic substances through the umbilical cord and during lactation.
An American / Danish / Faroese research team has taken samples from the umbilical cord and placenta in addition to breast milk at a hospital in the Faroe Islands and found that pesticides and other toxins that are stored in the mother's body is transferred to the fetus or child.
Part of what is most surprising is that not only are toxins from the food adopting during pregnancy or lactation transmitted, but also toxins that were previously included in the course of a long life will pass into the baby / fetus.
Other common sources of hazardous substances stored in the body is polluted air from chemicals and paints, smoking, makeup and creams. To give your child the best possible start in life and for your own health, it can be worth choosing organic products as far as the possible, since organic producers are not allowed to use pesticides and fertilizers. In Norway, the Norwegian Food Safety Authority of Debio that controls and authorizes manufacturers. Here you can find lists of all approved manufacturers in the country.
