The review did not look at pesticides or the environmental impact of
different farming practices.
Someone else made the point that a serious issue is not so much what's
in organic food that isn't in non-organic food, but vice versa.
Personally, I buy organic if it's not grossly more expensive than
ordinary produce, and if it's grown in the UK. I also always buy
organic dairy because of possible hormone and antibiotic residue - again
apparently not investigated by this latest review.

Until there is final and definitive proof that organophosphates and other chemicals do not harm the human or other animal organisma, I will continue to prefer "organically produced" foods. After the recent successful case in which a number of families showed that their children's deformities were the result of chamicals released into their environment, I am even more firm in my decision.
