There is a hidden secret to conventional foods that I'll share with you now if you haven't already heard. Conventional foods are sprayed with harsh chemicals and herbicides to detour bugs and other pests. These chemicals cannot completely be washed away with water, as these chemicals leech into the foods and become part of it. When you consume conventional foods, your body will have to stop some other important processes to rid your body of the traces of toxic chemicals in the foods. Organic foods, on the other hand, are usually kept bug free through natural bug and pest "traps". This can include planting other plants around organic crops that pests cannot stand.
