There's no evidence that organic food is safer or more nutritious than conventionally grown food. “No conclusive evidence shows that organic food is more nutritious than is conventionally grown food,” says the Mayo Clinic, which is perhaps the leading cancer centre in the world. “Most experts agree that the amount of pesticides found on fruits and vegetables poses a very small health risk.” The American Cancer Society is even more unequivocal. It says there is “no evidence that residues of pesticides and herbicides at the low doses found in foods increase the risk of cancer.” This is from From the Globe & Mail, July 11, 2009. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/opinions/organic-tastes-good-but-better-for-us-no/article1214614/ If you’ve been spending extra dough on organic food, you’re wasting your money.

Furthermore, according to Peter Melchett, policy director of the Soil Association, another study published by the same Danish research team earlier this year indicated differences between dietary treatments composed of ingredients from different cultivation methods caused differences in some health-related biomarkers. “In other words,” he said, “the animals fed an organic diet were actually found to be healthier than the animals given a non-organic diet.” Dr. Bügel’s research likely is bogus because of the fact that most of the non-organic fruit and vegetables were grown in soils that had previously been under organic, rather than non-organic, management.
