Research published in 2001 showed that conventionally grown fruit and vegetables in the USA have about half the vitamin content of their counterparts in 1963. This study was based on comparing published US Department of Agriculture figures.
A scientific study published in the Journal of Applied Nutrition in 1993 clearly showed that organic food is more nutritious than conventional food. Organically and conventionally grown apples, potatoes, pears, wheat, and sweet corn were purchased in the western suburbs of Chicago, over two years, and analysed for mineral content. The organically grown food averaged 63% higher in calcium, 73% higher in iron, 118% higher in magnesium, 178% higher in molybdenum, 91% higher in phosphorus, 125% higher in potassium and 60% higher in zinc. The organic food averaged 29% lower in mercury than the conventionally raised food. A recently publish review of scientific research by Dr Charles Benbrook, the Chief Scientist at The Organic Center, reveals that on average organic foods contain about one-third higher in antioxidants than comparable conventional produce. These phyto-nutrients have been shown to have major roles in preventing and reversing diseases such as heart disease and arterial diseases. They are important for preventing and reducing inflammatory and auto-immune diseases such as asthma and arthritis. Most significantly they are shown to have anti cancer and other protective properties for our health and well being.

The organic milk has two to three times more zeaxanthine and lutein, which are powerful antioxidants. Higher levels of omega 3 essential fatty acids, that provide protection from heart and other diseases, are also found in organic milk.

I always try to buy some organic fruits and vegetables (depending on the cost), but some fruits I really don't think it matters to buy organic like oranges and bananas because they have a thick outer skin that we don't eat.
If I can't buy organic (because of the cost) I use my vegetable and fruit wash that I bought from Trader Joe's and it is suppose to clean off the pesticides if you follow the directions on the bottle. Whenever possible, I do try to buy organic because I think it tastes so much better! |

After reading the article about how much more nutritious organic foods are for us, I'm not surprised that people who don't eat organic foods have so many health problems. Honestly, I'm one who has always said that I can't afford the healthier organically-grown foods, but after reading that article, I'm going to find a way to afford it.

It is the right thing to switch to organic products now, but since organic products are too expensive, some of them are cannot afford to buy those stuff. I suggest that we should be aware on what we eat and let us be more on vegetarian side than eating those thick meat of beef, pork. Let's be more sensitive in our health.
