How do you start an Organic Diet?
Q. I've read that for some health conditions I have it would help if I started an organic diet. I know Whole Foods has organic food, but I'm not sure how to start this. Do you do it gradually? Are there organic versions of all kinds of foods? Is it really easier on your liver? Do you have to cook everything from scratch? Are there any organic food restaurants in Chicago? Has anyone switched over and have advice for a newbie?

A. Many grocery stores carry organic food. Most fruits and vegetables come in organic versions. You might want to look at farmers markets in your area - you can get fresh local produce at a better price. One rule of thumb - fresher the better. Second rule of thumb - the longer the produce has traveled, less likely it will be fresh! I do not know if they are better for the liver. I know that organic food does not carry pesticide residues. It is also fresher, and tastes better. It is better for the environment. It depends on what you mean by scratch. You can get many organic things frozen or even canned. But in general, the more "real" the food is, less additives in there. Generally stick to eating real food rather than synthetic food. … [cont.]

Can you taste the difference between organic and non organic food?
Q. I had to do a science fair project on if you can tell the difference in taste between organic and non organic cookies. People could taste the difference between the Oreos and Newman O's so I was wondering if people have tasted the difference in other foods. Please don't tell me about how you think organic food is a scam. Thanks!

A. Organic means chemicals not used in production like fertilization or pesticides, only "natural". It doesn't really have a whole lot to do with taste if you're talking about fresh vegetables. However, if you're talking about processed food, all natural ingredients will affect taste. But the thing is, how does the consumer really know what they are eating has been producind all naturally? there's no way to know that no fertilizers or pesticides came in contact with foods or that in preparation all natural good were used. So someone could pay more but it might be just as healthy or not as healthy as the regular foods (i mean the food industry is made to eat, its washed/purified too). Its a matter of standards, and which brands/foods you… [cont.]

What's the difference between inorganic and organic solvents?
Q. 1. My chemistry textbook talks all about inorganic and organic solvents, but they don't explain WHAT they are exactly. 2. Do they have different solubility characteristics? Like an organic solvent would dissolve organic compounds? 3. What makes something more soluble in an organic solvent? Thanks for the help, and no, I'm not asking you to do my homework. I'm reviewing for my chemistry exam!
Asked by reichs - Sat Jan 19 22:23:57 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. 1. Organic solvents always contain the element carbon. Inorganic solvents don't contain the element carbon. The most common solvent, water, is an example of an inorganic solvent. There are many more organic solvents than inorganic solvents. 2. Using the adage "like dissolves like" is helpful in determining solubility characteristics of a compound in a given solvent. For example, paraffin wax would dissolve in a hydrocarbon solvent such as cyclohexane, because they are both hydrocarbons. Paraffin wax would not dissove in a polar solvent such as water. 3. Depends on the polarity of the compound to be dissolved and the polartiy of the organic solvent. For example, the polar organic compound benzoic acid has much more solubility in… [cont.]
