Experts analyze pros and cons of organic foods
RALEIGH, N.C. - The scientific community remains unable to answer the abundance of questions that challenge the organic food market. It is also unable to prove many of the assertions organic defenders encourage.
A common misconception about organic foods is they have an innate healthiness that supersedes the nutritional values of conventionally grown food. However, organic foods are considered healthier not because of qualities they have, but because of qualities they lack - specifically pesticides, artificial ingredients and trans fats, according to the National Organic Program.
Proponents of an organic diet, such as Valentina Daly, a senior in criminology at North Carolina State University, assert that organics are healthier, more environmentally friendly and have a greater sustainability than conventional crops.
News, tips and trends for parents
Did you ever wish someone had given you a life primer when you were in your 20s? Melissa Kirsch did, but by age 27, she hadn't been able to find such advice nicely packaged in one place. She decided she'd have to write the quintessential book.
"There was no database of accumulated experiences," said Kirsch, 32, whose new book The Girl's Guide to Everything ($15.95, Workman Publishing) will be in bookstores next month.
Kirsch started her research by asking acquaintances in their 20s, 30s and 40s what they know now that they wish they'd known right after college. The response was staggering, so she knew she was onto something.
The book has chapters on health and body image, career and work, money and finance, etiquette, dating and sex, getting along with your family, spirituality, home economics and fashion.
