Does your child eat organic food daily?

Disagree. ☞ Your child’s HQ test score is less than 60.

Feel free to continue with the next question or explore further aspects of the HQtest! Organic food offers several potential benefits for children, contributing to their overall health and well-being.

First, organic foods are grown without synthetic pesticides, which might reduce children's exposure to these chemicals. Reduced pesticide exposure is beneficial, especially for developing children.

Second, organic meat, dairy, and eggs come from animals that are not treated with antibiotics or growth hormones. Reducing exposure to these substances may help in preventing antibiotic resistance and potential hormonal imbalances. And organic food is less likely to contain artificial additives, preservatives, colors, and flavorings. These substances can sometimes contribute to behavioral issues or allergic reactions in sensitive children.

Third, organic farming avoids the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and synthetic growth regulators. Consuming organic food ensures that children are not exposed to these substances, which some parents prefer for their child’s natural development. In addition, children who consume organic foods might also have diets that are generally richer in fruits, vegetables, and whole foods, which are associated with better health outcomes.
