My husband saw that on the news this morning. Even he laughed cause organic is not about better nutrition, its about whats not on it, all the chemical crap which contributes to illness. He disagrees with my buying organic due to cost, but even he wanted to smack the newpeople for that one.
The first sentence of the article said that "Organic food has no nutritional or health benefits over conventionally produced food". I figure that means that with normal washing, the "chemical crap which contributes to illness" is removed. Making the commercially produced food as healthy as organically produced.
-Stimp-
"A small number of differences in nutrient content were found to exist between organically and conventionally produced foodstuffs, but these are unlikely to be of any public health relevance," said Alan Dangour, one of the report's authors.
That is probably where they are getting that line from, instead of "or" it probably should be "therefore no"
I may be paranoid, but there is such many more chronic and terminal illnesses these days hitting younger and younger. Personally I believe its a combination of pesticides, hormones, and metals in our food, vaccines, toiletries. You can't put all this stuff meant to kill bacteria and bugs into stuff and not realize that as it all piles on it will effect larger animals. That's the concept behind animal testing, how much of the toxic stuff can be tolerated before it being obviously poisonous. My opinion of course.
