Organic Food Has No More Nutritional Value Than Food Grown With Pesticides, Study Shows

ScienceDaily (Aug. 9, 2008) — New research in the latest issue of the Society of Chemical Industry’s (SCI) Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture shows there is no evidence to support the argument that organic food is better than food grown with the use of pesticides and chemicals.

More details

But I wont agree with this article, even though I also do not have scientific evidence to prove this . But when we look at our history and the way past human live and eating habits. they had very less health problems than modern society. They ate fresh foods, soil is more rich and harvest is so good and did not grow massive and they had less illnesses than now. But now we have more complected issues in health and till we die doctors may not find the exact reason. they say poor eating habits and stress.
Another reason, past people did so many works without much tiredness, but for us, we cant bear small works and feel tired, if we change the rouite works. if we have healthy body, we should be able work well without any issue

Any way it is up to debate

World Markets for Organic Fruit and Vegetables

During the second half of the 1990s, a strong and steady growth in the sales of organic foods has provided these products with a viable and sometimes value added market niche. Changes in dietary habits among many segments of the population of developed countries - resulting from increased health awareness and the increasing demand for a wider variety of products, including convenience food - have contributed to this growth. Due to major food scares, which hit many countries in western Europe in the late 1990s and early years of this century, consumers in general have become more critical when purchasing food. Moreover, they have become more demanding regarding information on production and processing aspects (including tracability of the product). The sales of organic horticultural products have been expanding rapidly in many of the major organic markets (e.g. the United States, countries in the European Community and Japan). However, the market share of organic products in total food sales is still small, with shares ranging between one and three percent.
