Do you ever wonder if organic food is really worth the extra cost? Well, today I'm joined by Dr. Adrian Chavez, and we chat about what exactly sets organic produce apart, especially when it comes to things like pesticides and nutritional value.
Adrian is ready to debunk some common misconceptions and shed light on the actual impact of pesticides on our bodies. We explore what the persuasive power of organic food marketing is. Is it influencing our choices more than we realize? Plus, we take a closer look at the contentious "Dirty Dozen" list. Is it a helpful guide or a source of unnecessary worry?
Stay tuned as we encourage you to keep an open mind and ask the hard questions. After all, the most empowered consumer is an informed one!
