英文原文

From fruits to veggies, eggs and nuts, you can find the word "organic" on many different foods at the store. But what exactly does that mean? If produce has grown in soil that has not been sprayed with certain substances like fertilizers and pesticides for at least three years before harvest, the USDA considers it organic. 

從水果到蔬菜，雞蛋和堅果，你可以在商店里找到許多不同食物上標有“有機”字樣。但這到底意味著什么？如果農(nóng)產(chǎn)品在收獲前至少三年沒有使用過化肥和殺蟲劑等某些物質(zhì)進行土壤噴灑，美國農(nóng)業(yè)部就會認為它是有機的。

Dr. Saunje Gupta says reducing one's exposure to those chemicals is important, as he says, high pesticide levels in foods have been linked to increased cancer risk, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. A reason going organic continues to gain popularity. In 2010, an estimated 26.9 billion is estimated to have been spent in the US on organic foods. 

Saunje Gupta博士說，減少對這些化學(xué)物質(zhì)的接觸很重要，因為正如他所說，食物中高濃度的農(nóng)藥與增加患癌風(fēng)險、糖尿病和心血管疾病有關(guān)。這也是有機食品持續(xù)受到歡迎的原因之一。據(jù)估計，2010年美國在有機食品上的花費約為269億美元。

By 2021, sales reached 52 billion, according to the Nutrition Business Journal. But as demand increases, so does the cost. So, the question is, is that "organic" label really worth it? And the answer is, it might be. While the "organic" label doesn't guarantee you're going to be pesticide-free, a Consumer Reports analysis did find most organic items work.

據(jù)《營養(yǎng)商業(yè)雜志》報道，到2021年，銷售額已達到520億美元。但隨著需求的增加，成本也在上升。因此，問題是，“有機”標簽真的值得嗎？答案是，它可能是值得的。雖然“有機”標簽并不能保證你完全無農(nóng)藥，但《消費者報告》的分析確實發(fā)現(xiàn)大多數(shù)有機產(chǎn)品都是有效的。
