Abstract: It is widely known that non-organic foods are produced using synthetic inputs and that the entire population is susceptible to exposure to pesticides, which, in turn, can be sources of numerous harm attributed to health. Therefore, organic foods, in addition to minimizing this exposure, can also be a source of greater health benefits, due to their form of production that ensures greater availability of nutrients in their entirety. Given this, the objective of this article is to compare, through literature analysis, whether the consumption of organic foods can have a higher positive impact on health considering the metabolic programming and the first thousand days of the child's life, in relation to the consumption of non-organic foods. This work constitutes a narrative review carried out between August 27 and November 10, 2025, whose data collection consisted of searching for articles in electronic databases, considering inclusion and exclusion criteria for the choice. The reviewed studies show that the consumption of organic foods during preconception, pregnancy and lactation is associated with lower exposure to pesticides and heavy metals, improved maternal nutritional profile, greater intake of folate and essential fatty acids, as well as positive impacts on child health markers, while organic complementary feeding is related to family characteristics and healthier lifestyles. Despite these findings, the results are still limited by the accessibility of organic products and the scarcity of longitudinal and experimental studies. It is concluded that the consumption of organic foods during the first thousand days of life has a potential benefit over non-organic food, although the available evidence is still limited and insufficient to confirm a greater impact.
