Guest guest Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I have always used organic yogurt and for my kids. " Why? " you might ask. I think a lot of people have heard that organics are good for kids but may be fuzzy on the answer to why they are so important. Babies, toddlers, and kids digestive tracts absorb toxins more readily than adult digestive tracts, and young kidneys don't detoxify as efficiently as adult kidneys which results in toxins circulating longer in babies' bodies, boosting exposure to four times that of adults! Researchers at the University of Washington found that by putting children on a mostly organic diet for just five days, they could " virtually eliminate exposures to a dangerous class of insecticides known to disrupt neurological development in infants and children. " In addition to this, I have always used organic dairy to avoid my children's exposure to the synthetic version of bovine growth hormone. http://momswearyourtees.blogspot.com/2009/12/why-stonyfield-yogurt-is-so-healthy\ -for.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 I'd add that organic dairy products don't have the RGBH, hormones and antibiotics found in non-organics. When my granddaughter (then 20 months old) developed a breast due at least partly to the hormones in non-organic milk products, I freaked and started giving my daughter the money to cover the extra cost of organic milk for her kids. Docs call it " precocious puberty, " saying it's not normal, but it's common. Fortunately, the breast tissue has disappeared. She is not 5 1/2 and no sign of precocious puberty.
