Nonorganic produce for pregnant woman

The most significant difference between organic and Nonorganic produce is that the former often Tastes better than the latter. The differences in nutrient content are not really significant.

There may be some pesticide residues on Nonorganic produce, but this can be minimized by Washing, Peeling, or when appropriate, cooking the food. Eating only produce grown in the United States will greatly reduce your risk of exposure, because much of the worst Pesticide contamination comes from imported produce.

The most important thing, however, is to eat five to nine servings of Fruits and veggies each day. If you're on a tight budget, you don't have to limit yourself to the organic section.

Unpasteurized juices during pregnancy

If you make your own Juice from Fruit and make sure to wash the Fruit with Soap and Water and squeeze it yourself, there should be no problem.

If you haven't washed it well, there could be Chemicals and Insecticides on the Fruit.

I'd stay away from the Unpasteurized juice you find in Health food stores.

You don't know what processes it went through when it was made.

Chemicals or Bacteria could have gotten into the Juice and could make you and the Baby sick.
