Organic foods decrease harmful pesticide exposure to children

According to a 2003 University of Washington study, having an organic diet can cleanse a child’s body from harmful pesticides in just three days. The study focused on school age children and showed that dietary exposures to insecticides (specifically organophosphate) were almost entirely eliminated when children were fed organic foods after just a few days. The exposures to the insecticides increased when the the children went back to conventional (nonorganic foods). Here is the entire study from the National Institute of Health.
