Will New Study Stunt Organic Growth?
September 4th, 2012 | Published in Health News, Reports and Studies
Should better4you brands promote organic foods in light of a new study from Stanford University and the Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care? The study finds that organic produce and meat typically isn’t any better for you than conventional food when it comes to vitamin and nutrient content. It does, however, reduce exposure to pesticides and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The study compared either the health of people who ate organic or conventional foods or, more commonly, nutrient and contaminant levels in the foods themselves. Just like the bottled water industry, which has marketed itself as pure, uncontaminated, organic fruits, vegetables, grains, meat, poultry eggs and milk still hold the edge when it comes to better4you health.
