“Organic” is largely a scam. Woe to us if we go fully organic. Everything in Africa is organic and they’re starving to death.
No.Just more expensive,

I would not be surprised if metallic minerals are metabolized differently from vitamins, antioccidents, and enzymes. A lot more research is needed, as well as much longer studies.
Soaking your vegetables in pesticide may not lower the nutrition value but there are other considerations here.
I won’t eat organic food!!!
All they do is throw shit at it and hope it grows!
I want mine raised with the proper fertalizers for the crop and soil used and pestisides to keep it bug free!!!
I had enough buggy crap before they invented DDT!!!
Essentially, a "placebo" effect for veggies.

The choice between organic produce and non organic is:
One apple has far less pesticides than the other. The apple with more pesticides will cumulatively do neurological damage to you, frequently upping your odds significantly of ending your life with Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s.
I have been an organic gardener and farmer for over twenty years and enjoy having much healthier soil in which to grow my crops. I also enjoy the lower costs and healthier aspects of being “natural”. Not all organic producers practice a natural growing philosophy...as one vineyard owner explained to me years ago...if you have to spray an governmental ordained organic substance six times on your crops to handle a problem that can be handled with one spray of “chemicals” the chemicals are the more economical and indeed probably healthier way to go. At my level, I do not need to use chemicals ever...but, I have mainly limited my farming (small acreage) to grains and hay. My vegetable garden...which is about a third of an acre has never had a chemical on it since I purchased the farm about 18 years ago and it is highly productive and excellent, rich black soil.
Having said all this, I questioned a nutritionist (phd level) a few years back over which was more healthy to eat...they said that there has not been any research that has shown organic vegetables to be healthier...although there are indications that the growth hormones and antibiotics in meat may have been causing trouble for the last couple of generations.
One thing that can be said for organic foods - it significantly enhances the diets of those who grow, process, distribute, and sell them, since an endless variety of idiots pay through the nose for them, making the sale of organic foods far more profitable than selling non-organic foods.
It’s largely a vanity issue. “I’m really important so I have to eat organic. “
Growing organic makes more sense.
a study of a mere two trace minerals alone does not define an overall advantage, or non-advantage of “organic” foods vs foods not considered “organic”
definitely more study is needed, and in that the study periods need to be longer than a mere 28 days and the demographic sample needs to be larger than a mere 28 participants
I am not making a case here “for” organic food; I am only suggesting that the reported study is very inadequate for making a case “against” organic food
If you do a good job at home or have an organic farm nearby that does a good proper job.... The organic produce you get will have more minerals than conventional produce. I can’t say how the organic produce is that you find at Whole Foods. It comes from many sources
So organic means no harmful sprays and if done right you get less watery and more minerals in your produce. I halfway practice this. I don’t spray but I do use a tiny bit of chem fertilizers that have trace minerals. Mulch a lot with wood chips to get the soil black with humus
