Is Organic Food Healthier?

October 21st 2009 19:02
Food stamped with an organic label may not provide better nutrition than the rest of the food at the supermarket.

A recent review, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, reported that organic food and conventional foods have the same nutrient content. The researchers found no differences between conventional foods and organic foods in the amount of vitamin C, magnesium, calcium, potassium, zinc, and copper content. However, organic foods had higher levels of phosphorous, and conventional crops had more nitrogen.

While the nutritional content of organic food is not higher, there may be fewer pesticides. There are many variables in food production that influence nutrient content including where the food is grown, shipped from, and how long it was on the truck.
