Another study shows that organic food is better for you
“A new study by Newcastle University on organic versus conventional crops confirms that organic farming methods do have a positive impact on health. Results found substantially higher levels of antioxidants and lower levels of pesticides in organic crops versus conventional crops.

But when pesticides are applied, plants lose the need to generate antioxidants for their own defenses.”

Diabetes, gallstones, cardiovascular disease, 30% of the cancers.”
