Now what?<\/p>\n

Now that we’ve all accepted the fact that we have to eat organic food to be healthier, a HUGE review of all the studies EVER done has concluded that organic and conventionally produced foods have about the same nutrient content.<\/p>\n

Great. All that money for $22\/pound salmon, waisted.<\/p>\n

Actually, the nutrient content of each variety may be similar, but you still may want to shell out for the Organic label.<\/p>\n

The reason? Pesticides, etc., in your conventionally grown foods. The breakdown products live in the skin and cannot (typically) be washed off. You’ve got to make certain that these stay OUT of your body, and particularly for our kids.<\/p>\n

The review zeroed in on 162 studies that dealt with the nutrient content of foods. Only 55 were of what the researchers considered to be “satisfactory quality” — a strong indicator that, overall, the science on the subject is not up to snuff.<\/p>\n

They found no noted differences between conventional and organic crops with regard to vitamin C, magnesium, calcium, potassium, zinc and copper content. Organic crops did have higher levels of phosphorus, and conventionally produced crops had higher levels of nitrogen.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
