WASHINGTON (AP) — Patient after patient asked: Is eating organic food, which costs more, really better for me?
Unsure, Stanford University doctors dug through reams of research to find out -- and concluded there's little evidence that going organic is much healthier, citing only a few differences involving pesticides and antibiotics.
Eating organic fruits and vegetables can lower exposure to pesticides, including for children -- but the amount measured from conventionally grown produce was within safety limits, the researchers reported Monday.
Nor did the organic foods prove more nutritious...

Just more lies and propaganda from the media that helped elect the current resident of the White House.

Busted! Co-author of Stanford study that bashed organics found to have deep ties to Big Tobacco’s anti-science propaganda

A writer with a bias rejecting a researcher with “financial ties” and a bias to tabacco. Perhaps the statistician simply works for whomever hires him. Personally, minimal pestaveggies. Thankfully michele obama is pushing pestaveggies on the youngest and perhaps most at risk. Side note, ingredients in meats and fish support male & female hormones. A fully grown man converting to pestavegetarian is very different frim developing children and women of child bearing age. Btw... i am not so sure about the purity of “organic”. Its simply too expensive for me.

LOL. Then every study sponsored by a government entity is biased because of its ties to Big Government!
Not thinking isn’t the same as thinking. If any entity is anti-science it is government. The nature of government is political. Science is about the pursuit of truth.
Organic is another racket of the Left. Borlaug and the Green Revolution saved lives and spared millions from misery. The Left hates that.
Primitivism at the hands of an elite group of masters is their goal. Death is their hallmark.
Yet the bulk of the story was written to convince the reader to use organic foods, anyway. Oh, that's right, it's MPR, Minnesota Public Radio, using our money to propagandize us.
You have to admit that organic food is one of the best examples of excellent marketing and capitalism. High prices for a perceived value.
Well then it is beneficial, despite what the rest of the article claims. News for these reporters: people don't like food posioning!
