Therefore, their proper choice for guaranteed organic food is also essential. At present, there are many types of food possible on the market to respond for demand for organic The National Cooperation Center for Environmental Health has an analytical article on this problem First, Diet is an important source of pesticide exposure, particularly for children, but data are lacking on the amount of pesticides consumed in the diet relative to exposures from other sources. Second, available data suggest that organically grown food contains fewer synthetic pesticide residues than conventionally-grown food, and that eating an organic diet can result in lower exposures to some pesticides. Moreover, there is currently no hard evidence that conventional food has a higher level of risk than organic food, due to a lack of research on the relative health risks and benefits of organically-versus conventionally-grown food. Many studies have found an association between pesticide exposures and certain cancer and non-cancer effects, particularly in occupational settings, but other studies have yielded inconsistent results or found no clear evidence of risk. There is currently no conclusive evidence linking low-level dietary pesticide exposures with adverse health outcomes in the general population.
