Organic food 'no benefit to health'
There is no peer-reviewed evidence to show that there is any clear health benefit to eating ‘green’ produce, according to Lord Kerbs of Jesus Collage, Oxford.
The argument in this article revolves around the nutritional content of organic and non-organic foods. Current research seems to indicate that there is no difference in nutritional content or that organic food is safer. However the studies aren’t entirely conclusive and new studies are under way.
While the food itself might not be better for you is organic food better for the environment? Use of less pesticides and other chemicals should be a good thing, right? Unfortunately this article doesn’t address this concern and I wouldn’t like to guess.
