AAP: Organic Food Not Essential for Kids' Health


 

FROM THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS

Mothers using the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children program receive only $10 per month for fresh fruits and vegetables, while their children receive an additional $6 monthly, "so that money must be spent wisely to maximize spending capacity for healthy foods," the report’s authors caution. For more information about pesticides and produce, read EWG’s 2012 Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides and Produce.

None of the report’s authors made any financial declarations.
