    Default The BS on Eating Organic

    There are no clear nutritional or health benefits conferred by eating organic food over non-organic food, and they certainly won’t make you leaner.
    --
    But we’re not saying that organic foods are bad or that you shouldn’t buy them. In fact, there may be some benefits to the farming methods used to produce some organic foods.
    --
    If eating organic food eases your conscience and makes you feel uplifted, you can financially afford it, and you prefer the taste, then go right ahead.
    --
    The bottom line is that the calories and macros in organic food are the same as their conventional counterparts and aren’t processed any differently, the protein quality isn’t any higher, and the enhancement of vitamins and minerals is somewhere between zero and minimal.
    --
    As always, when it comes to body composition, calories and macronutrients are the most important factors.

    THE EVIDENCE:

    1. Smith-spangler et al. Are organic foods safer or healthier than conventional alternatives?: a systematic review. Ann Intern Med. 2012;157(5):348-66.

    2. Dangour et al. Nutritional quality of organic foods: a systematic review. Am J Clin Nutr. 2009;90(3):680-5.

    I working in agriculture grew up on farm.
    Went to meetings and hear speakers.
    This is true it's for tree huggers not for health.
    Beware it cost more because it take alot more land to produce equal amount

    Same here, grew up on a farm and know all to well that unless you grow it, you don't have any idea as to how anything is raised. Grass Feed Beef is another one. LOL Marketing at is finest or worst.
