Organic Food Myth:
Organic food is better for us than non-organic options, true or false?
THIS IS FALSE
- What is true; less pesticides are used in producing organic food. The effect on our bodies of these pesticides, if they get onto our system, is unknown. However,
- Organic food has basically the same nutritional value as non-organic food (It's better in some aspects and not better in other aspects compared to regular foods)
- Organic food is often more expensive.
