Organic Food Is No Better For You Than Food Grown With Pesticides


In the biggest study ever looking at organic foods versus foods grown with pesticides, Stanford University researchers determined that organic food is no safer and no healthier than food grown with pesticides. Well, that is a kick in the balls to everyone who pays double or triple for organic food. This is why I don't eat fruits and vegetables unless they are potatoes used to make french fries or onions on my burger. Apparently organic food does not really guarantee there will be no pesticides on it in the first place, although the level would be lower. However, if you wash the food before eating there was no difference. There were no differences in vitamin content of the food. No difference in any nutritional data between organic and not organic food. Researchers went into the study assuming that organic food would be better for you, but it simply is not.
