Right then, no benefits… Unless of course you consider NOT HAVING TO CONSUME PESTICIDE a benefit. The whole point of organic is fewer poisons not more nutrition.
Dear London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
Thank you for conducting research in order to tell us what the galactically stupid already know. No one is debating the nutritional content vis-a-vis conventionally grown products. It’s about not eating poison and growing food that is sustainable, and safe for the environment and humans; not for some company’s bottom-line.
I would like to feel sorry on behalf of all British citizens for wasting tax payer pounds but honestly can you just tell us which companies paid for your research. You can’t make enough Kool Aid to drink this garbage. Good grief, you all must be tenured. Truly cutting edge research, cutting edge…
While there may be no nutritional differences that are visible under a discount student microscope, there are definitely other differences. The biggest difference between organic and regular produce is the use of chemical pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides. Not only do these additives impact the healthiness of the foods that are produced, but they also impact the quality of the local soil and water table.
You are my new hero Uri. Who paid for this study anyway?
It is important to remember that consumers purchase organic for a wide range of reasons. Some choose organic because it enables them to minimize their exposure to toxic and persistent pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, growth hormones, genetic engineering, and artificial ingredients. Others choose organic because in doing so, they support a system of sustainable agricultural management that promotes soil health and fertility, fosters species diversity, helps combat climate change, prevents damage to valuable water resources, and protects farmers and farmers’ families from exposure to harmful chemicals.
Whatever their reasons, more and more consumers are recognizing that organic is worth it.
