Organic coffee...better...?

Tweet

I recently wondered what made regular coffee NON-organic. So, I did a little bit of searching (which I got paid for, btw, check out my profile) and discovered that organic coffees are grown free of pesticides, chemicals and artificial treatments. These things are never used in any step of the growing and harvesting process. Interesting. The reason I started looking into is was this: I used to get daily headaches- but last fall, I made two significant changes. One was my diet- switching to more whole, natural foods. The second was switching to organic coffee. My headaches were gone almost abruptly. I didn't really consider the reason- I just figured it was the better diet in general and didn't think too much about it. Well, about a month ago, I started drinking non-organic coffee again (long story not relevant) and, while I have been eating a little more processed foods, the coffee was the big difference. And, suddenly those headaches returned...about a week after drinking the coffee. And it was a distinct feeling, very specific- the same type of headache I used to get. I tried several brands of non-organic coffee and have now returned to organic. Guess what?!? NO HEADACHE with organic coffee. SO, for me anyway, organic is definitely better, at least when it comes to coffee (I found it really does taste better, too). There must be a certain chemical used on non-organic coffee that I am super sensitive to...?What about you? Do you eat anything organic? Some? None- you don't care, don't agree it's better, or simply can't work the extra cost into the budget? If you do eat organic, do you notice a difference in your health in any way?
