Organic foods are devoid of GMOs, which means they were not genetically altered in nature. Food genetic engineering is a major problem in the modern day. They are foods or plants that have had their DNA changed in ways that do not occur naturally, mainly to increase resistance to pesticides/herbicides. While there is no definitive proof of its risks, food safety activists are worried that long-term study to establish their safety has not been undertaken.
GMOs, according to food safety activists, are a primary cause of slower brain growth, internal organ damage, gastrointestinal issues, and digestive tract thickening. Thus, one of the health benefits of eating organic food is that it is free of GMOs, which are a prevalent component of non-organic foods.
