No antibiotics or synthetic hormones
- Conventional livestock can be fed antibiotics to protect against illness, making it easier for farmers to raise animals in crowded or unsanitary conditions.
- traces of these substances can make their way to consumers.
- organic foods—which are produced without antibiotics—“are intrinsically safer in this respect.”
- Organic meat and dairy also cannot contain synthetic hormones, which have been linked to an increased risk of cancer.
