Experimental Treatment
Group I: Organic Diet, Then Conventional Diet:Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
These participants first received an organic diet for one week. During that week, daily first morning void urine samples were collected. After a washout period of one day, these participants then received a conventional (non-organic) diet for one week. During that week, daily first morning void urine samples were collected.
For each week, participants ordered all food they anticipated eating that week (up to $150) from a unique account with a local grocery store in accordance with either the organic diet or conventional diet. Study staff verified all food items corresponded with the dietary intervention that week, and then ordered the groceries to be delivered to the participant's home, when possible. For participants living in areas in which delivery was not available (generally rural areas), study staff picked up the food at the grocery store and delivered it to the participant's home.
