A recent study by Stanford University purports that organic food isn't any healthier than non-organic food.
With studies such as this coming from reputable organizations like
Stanford, unfortunately it emphasizes the need that we must always be
vigilant and can still not trust our general food supply.
It's true, you don't have to spring for organic if the food has a thick skin that you will discard, such as bananas, avocados, melons and citrus. If it's a leaf you will eat, if the fruit has skin you will eat, or if it was grown in the ground it's worth it to buy organic. Countless studies have shown these foods absorb and retain pesticides & herbicides used on them, and that these chemicals act as carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, and immune disruptors in the human body. For more information about who is behind the study, see what Mike Adam's team of sleuths revealed.
