Why Organic Matters: The Truth About Pesticides and Your Health 

You already know organic matters. You choose organic when you can. But it’s so easy to think it’s okay to skip organic sometimes, even often, when it’s not available. So many products say they’re healthy even though they don’t say they’re organic. You can sort of tell it’s fooling your brain, but you have so much else on your mind that you just go along with it. Do you need to fight against that? How much effort do you need to put into finding everything organic in Dubai since UAE has strict regulations on imported foods and local crops? Let’s talk honestly about this. 

Over 1,000 chemicals are in use on food worldwide, and only about half of those are tested in food imports overall. Also, sometimes the original pesticide turns into another chemical that isn’t tested for. This is true for glyphosate, just one common, toxic herbicide. So, even though there can be strict regulation in place, the problem is so widespread that you have to take personal action, choosing organic or specific foods you know are not sprayed or contaminated, if you want to protect your health. At Rawteen, we do that for you. 

How is just one pesticide, glyphosate, linked to health problems? 

 It’s linked to cancers, hormonal disorders, reduced fertility, birth defects, cognitive impairments, neurodevelopment issues like autism, microbiome disruption, chronic kidney disease, liver toxicity, autoimmune diseases, respiratory and skin toxicity, and metabolic disorders like obesity and diabetes. 

This is just one chemical that’s on all bread, pasta, rice, corn and other grains like oats, snack bars, breakfast cereals, lentils, and legumes like soy, nuts like almonds. It’s on sugar and many other foods. Even if the crop is “non-GMO” they can spray it with glyphosate just before harvest to “dry” the crop. So this means, no matter the government regulations, unless they allow zero pesticides, you have to make very specific choices for yourself and your family when it comes to food. At Rawteen, 

we know what to look out for, and we only let pure, healthy food into the store.
