Certified organic production prohibits:
• persistent, toxic herbicides and pesticides, increasingly linked to birth defects, cncer and other health problems
• genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which have not yet been tested for their impact on the environment or human health
• ionizing radiation
• sewage sludge- a source of asbestos, bacteria, fungi, heavy metals and industrial solvents
• antibiotics, which contribute to drug-resistant bacteria, and growth hormones
