 Organic food not so healthy’
Debunking the myth of superiority of organic food over ordinary one, leading scientists have claimed that the former is not healthier than the latter.
There was little evidence that an organic diet provides greater nutritional benefits or that non-organic crops grown using pesticides and chemical fertilisers are more harmful than their organic competitors, the scientists claimed. As health is the major motivational factor behind purchase of organic products, producers point to research showing that organic food contains higher levels of nutrients, but scientists claim there were just as many studies that have found no added benefits. |
