Organic food is defined as lacking synthetic pesticides (chemical) used on crops. It is impossible to go on an organic/chemical free diet because an item can be labelled organic when only 95% of its ingredients are organically grown. Hence, some chemicals would no doubt slip through. Some ingredients are very difficult to be sourced organically, thus they are exempted from the requirements, and again, these ingredients may contain certain chemicals that people would wish to avoid. Organic pesticieds are used in place of synthetic pesticides when growing organic food. However, there are no real differences between organic and synthetic pesticides. Organic pesticides come from natural sources, but because they were never processed, they can contain the exact same substances as regular/ synthetic pesticides. So it is nigh impossible to avoid chemicals/”perceived harmful substances”
