New Study Proves This Food is Healthier and More Nutritious For You

A review of 343 nutrition studies that compared the antioxidant content, pesticide residues, and heavy metal contamination found this type of food to be superior. 

In a study published in The British Journal of Nutrition, researchers compared organic to conventionally grown fruits and vegetables and found the following:

Organic fruits and vegetable contain between 19 and 69 percent more antioxidants compared to conventional produce.

USDA-Organic-SealAntioxidants, such as those found in higher concentrations in organic foods, “have previously been linked to a reduced risk of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases and certain cancers.”

Conventional foods had four times the amount of pesticides and a higher amount (48%) of the toxic metal cadmium. Cadmium, which is also present in cigarette smoke, can cause kidney and liver damage.

The Bottom Line:  Organic food is higher in antioxidants and lower in pesticides.
