Stuff I like by Benita

I'm awesome.

But if you’re thinking that organic produce will help you stay healthier, a new finding may come as a surprise. A new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine finds scant evidence of health benefits from organic foods.

As you might expect, there was less pesticide contamination on organic produce. But does that matter? The authors of the new study say probably not. They found that the vast majority of conventionally grown food did not exceed allowable limits of pesticide residue set by federal regulations.

Why Organic Food May Not Be Healthier For You : The Salt : NPR

Yes! There are many reasons to buy organic, but to claim it’s healthier is bullshit. Also worth investigating: What’s the deal with all the organic-labeled non-produce items (i.e. pasta, cereal) that cost double the price of the regular version?
