CA.NEWS.YAHOO.COM reports:
Organic produce and meat typically isn't any better for you than conventional varieties when it comes to vitamin and nutrient content, according to a new review of the evidence. But organic options may live up to their billing of lowering exposure to pesticide residue and antibiotic-resistant bacteria, researchers from Stanford University and the Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System found.

+20The study only shows its the same in Vitamin and Nutrient content, it fails to mention the potential harm of certain chemicals and hormones contained in non-organic food, regardless, I prefer organic not because of possible health benefits but because of taste and composition and although it may cost more, I end up getting more for my money.
There is a notice in the cafeteria of the Monsanto pharmaceutical factory advising customers “as far as practicable, GM soya and maize (has been removed) from all food products served in our restaurant. We have taken the steps to ensure that you, the customer, can feel confident in the food we serve.” Monsanto confirms the authenticity of the notice.
When scientists at Monstanto were confronted about the infertility caused by their products in numerous tests, some laughed it off and responded by saying it would be a good thing for population control.
I was having the same problems that any normal American has and was taking all the drugs to counter those problems. I went to several doctors for my annual physicals and mentioned those problems with the same response time and again, take these pills and you will be OK.
I finally went to a homeopath doctor and he put me on a strict diet of all organic. That means no preservatives, no hormone, no chemicals. After 4 months on the diet I lost weight (obviously) and got rid of all my problems.
One tomato was tested and it was found to have 6 different pesticides, 4 different herbicides, growth enhancers, growth regulators, ripening agents, and coloring agents.
Just look at a label and check out all the forms of acid used to preserve your food, those acids destroy your stomachs bacteria levels which throws off your entire system.
Organic is better, no doubt.
1. Whether or not organic foods are healthier isn't a matter of opinion or agreeing/disagreeing and should be an observable fact, albeit one that can only be observed by doing a study.
2. None or very few of us are educated in this field or have conducted said study and so nobody really can offer any more insight into this than their best guess.
Simply put, this question is like asking "Mathematicians have found that 1 1=2. Do you agree?" It either is or it isn't and what someone who doesn't understand the science thinks about it has no importance whatsoever.
Time for the "green" crowd to realize they ain't right.
but just now they push not to, and charge more. Its like leaded gas, they added lead to
it, then they came out with un-leaded gas, which should be cheaper because they don't add the lead, but they charge more.
I have followed you on this site and you are just relishing in the idea of trashing anyone that goes organic. You have nothing to back up your claims and you don't even argue...you just insult. Could be all those chemicals you are eating.
People have the right to eat what they want and it is none of your business what they consume. So go back to your Cheetos and mind your own business unless you are willing to discuss the issues in a civilized manner. I'm not a hippie but I will say that most hippies look healthier than others.
But when you take those conditions and add chemicals to them than the problems become even worse.
I test my soils on a regular basis and add where I am deficient with organic materials.
Nutrition content may be the same, but the amount of pesticides sure as hell isn't.
Yeah, go ahead and tell me they won't cause me any problems. I'm not quite so stupid to believe you though.
