Organic food is not as good as advertising

Many people are willing to pay more for organic food in the belief that they are safer and more nutritious than other common foods. However, a new US study found that organic food is not as superior as advertising.

Organic food (organic food) is food grown (grown) with organic substances. If done properly, this product line is the result of a process of rearing (growing) plants and animals without using any kind of chemicals, synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, modifiers. Any growth or industrial food.

Eating, drinking with organic food is therefore believed to be completely safe for health, avoiding food poisoning because it is not affected by pesticides, chemical fertilizers or weight-gain chemicals in the process. farming, farming. In the market, the price of organic food is usually at least 1/3 higher than the price of the same food but grown (grown) by conventional methods.

Dr. Dena Bravata and colleagues from Stanford University Medical Center (USA) conducted the largest ever study for existing studies, to compare two types of food and body illustrate the outstanding health benefits of organic food.

According to the Daily Mail page, the team did not detect any consistent differences in vitamin content in different foods. They also found no difference in protein and fat content in organic milk and regular milk.

The researchers added that there are no certain types of fruits and vegetables that organic form is more beneficial to health than conventional forms.

Another thing worth mentioning is that, according to scientists at Stanford University, growing (growing) organic food may not be better for the environment. For example, the production of milk, cereals and organic pork produces higher greenhouse gas emissions than other conventional food production processes.

However, Dr. Bravata and his colleagues admitted that organic production helps food reduce the risk of poisoning pesticides by 30% even if they do not guarantee they are 100% chemical free. The level of pesticide contamination in all organic foods is within the safe limits allowed.

The team concluded: 'Some people believe that organic food is always more nutritious and healthier than regular foods. That is not true. There is not much difference between the two foods'.
