Organic produce and meat typically is no better for you than


conventional food when it comes to vitamin and nutrient content,


although it does generally reduce exposure to pesticides and


antibiotic-resistant bacteria, according to a US study.

ok, so tell me, how does "reduce exposure to pesticides and


antibiotic-resistant bacteria" equate with "typically no better


for you" ?




This is a summary:

They didn't actually do anything except to review 'evidence'.


But no one knows how valid that evidence was or how it was gathered or
who paid the bill for it. I would say that the summary is weak and
practically useless.


They say there was no funding. Remember, they aren't testing, they are
only reading other people's work, and forming their conclusions. What
they read, and how they cast it in a "maybe, possibly, might" kind of a
vocabulary, is essentially useless when compared with actual testing.
