Do We Really Need To Buy Organic Chicken?

By Andrea Kristi

Chicken is a great source of protein. It is considered to be one of the healthiest meats and poultry; however, if you really care about your health, make sure you choose organic chickens.

Eating non-organic chicken on a regular basis is not the safest choice, because many farmers commonly use arsenic, best known as a deadly poison, in conventional chicken feed. Multiple studies show that prolonged exposure to arsenic may cause type 2 diabetes, heart and liver diseases and even certain forms of cancer.

Some studies show that children of women who were exposed to arsenic while pregnant, may be at an increased risk of cancer later in life.

According to the research done by the government, arsenic levels in some young chickens are up to four times greater than in other meats.

Arsenic is called a deadly poison for a reason, because exposure to large quantities causes immediate death.

If you buy organic chicken, you may be sure that you are not going to be exposed to even small levels of arsenic. Organic chickens are fed with natural feed which is not genetically or chemically altered. They are raised on natural vegetarian diets and are kept on pesticide-free soils. No antibiotics, growth hormones or any other medication is given to organic chicken. Organic free-range chickens get regular access to fresh air and sun and they have plenty of space to move.

Organic chickens, which are also free-range, can move and run freely, so their muscles are not wasted, but exercised. Organic chickens have higher amounts of Omega-3 Fatty Acids and plenty of beneficial fats, which can lower cholesterol. Organic eggs have a richer taste and are also better for you.

Buying organic chickens can get expensive, so you should always search the Internet for printable organic food coupons. Also, you may want to check local farms in the area, who may offer organic chickens and organic meats at lower prices.

Some people don't care about eating healthy, but many swear that organic chicken tastes richer and more flavorful. So even if you are not concerned about arsenic, give organic chicken a try anyway. You should taste the difference. - 17274
