Organic Diet Cuts Pesticide Exposure In Children, Berkeley Study Finds [1]

"A new scientific study [documents] that organic food can substantially lower pesticide exposure in children from low-income families in both urban and rural areas."

"BOULDER CREEK -- Organic food matters to Camila Torres, so grappling with its higher prices has made her resourceful.

When the Boulder Creek resident makes baby food for her 1-year-old, Liliana, she tosses prepackaged, frozen organic vegetables from Trader Joe's into a blender, adds a little water, then purees and warms up the mush before 'airplaning' a spoonful into her daughter's mouth.

Torres wants her two girls to grow up on organic food -- and frozen products help her afford it."
