.....3.16. Are Organic Foods Healthier or Safer?
Organic farming is a method of agricultural production that does not
allow the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or growth
enhancers. Foods grown under organic certification differ from
conventionally produced food by the manner in which they are grown,
handled, and processed, but an “organic” label does not guarantee the
nature of the product, the food, or ingredient, only its production
method. The important factors for many people who consume organic
foods relate to the perceptions that they are healthier, taste better,
are better for the environment, have lower pesticide levels and fewer
food additives, and are better for animal welfare (214). However,
organic certification does not imply that foods produced using organic
methods are more nutritious or safer than those produced without
organic methods (195).
A 2007 review by the British Nutrition Foundation stated, “There
appears to be a perception among many consumers that organic foods are
more nutritious and therefore healthier than conventionally produced
foods. However, to date there are limited data to support this
view” (248). This perception has led in part to increases in the world
market for certified organic foods to $34 billion in 2005 (111). A
2007 poll showed that 57% of polled consumers strongly believed that
science had proven that organic food was healthier than conventional
(182, figure 17). Because of the paucity of scientific data, the UK
Food Standards Agency decided in October 2007 to seek a contractor who
will evaluate relevant studies and compare the nutrient and non-
nutrient content of organic and conventional foods to determine if any
compositional differences have nutritional or other health effects in
the context of the complete diet (86).
In general, only a small number of peer-reviewed studies exist that
analyze nutritional differences between foods produced conventionally
and organically. Although statistically significant differences have
been observed for a limited number of metabolites for a few foods
grown under differing environmental conditions using conventional and
organic production systems, more research is required to determine if
any of these differences have actual health-promoting effects. Some
examples......

Blah, blah, blah. Even you, Gunny, ought to be embarrassed at all the
weasel words above. When you look at it, closely, you can see that it
means nothing.

There is a lot of money in GMOs, but none in crop rotation. Why do you
think that is? Hummmm?

You like to reframe alot don't you, but still .....Prove her wrong
Asshole!

Since you can't... you just talk shit like you are now. Show how many
peer-reviewed studies exist that
analyze nutritional differences between foods produced conventionally
and organically.

There is a lot of money in GMOs, but none in crop rotation.Hummmm???.


That is the best you come up with? Another lame attempt alluding to
the grand conspiracy that denied you ! You are a little paranoid twit
aren't you? Don't think you are a Luddite but you play one very well
here in the anonymity of the Internet.

There is a lot of money in the organic pseudo science you fringe
sophists harp on. Yet you still cannot dispute her with anything
resembling logic. Crop rotation? really billy ? Is that like your
BS statement mineral fertilizers kill soil? YOur Ironite lawsuit you
didn't research before you make your false statement?

Get it through your fat head. Just because the dot.coms give you your
cherry picked pseudo science leads, they are not valid, but you know
that. RU still stupidly sticking to your

U still betting on your 2000 internet book report to be accurate?. I
would love to see attempt to school Dr Lemeux with your pseudo
science and your sole source use of book writers as experts. You lack
integerity as well as balls.

Your still a fringe jerkoff lost in the 60s again. 2 lines of comments
surrounded by 50 lines of political BS. Youve never been anywhere nor
done anything in your miserable little Walter Mitty life except now
you have the Internet in your old cripple life and you feel you must
share your doom and gloom with every one.

Is this pseudo science code for you don't know?

(usual political BS snipped)

preached:

Oh right!...Your nebulous conspiracy theories., remind me which one
this one is again? The farmer is a dupe or is it The corporation is
evil, you use them both so much its getting difficult to distinguish?
Yet that asidebilly, your doom and gloom pseudo science is getting
more than a bit stupid.

As for weasel words. Do try to keep up old man. You failed to
discredit her before you just dont realize it with the extensive BS
you sling, the usual subterfuge when cornered and your lack of
actually reading your Google material. Once again she is a real
scientist, presenting her findings which she references quite well,
something your book writers should strive for, but doom and gloom do
sell well dont they.. In the future, do look up the definition of
weasel words before you start your next sermon. Perhaps you wont
look as stupid next time.

BTW; Synthetic Fertilizers do not kill soil.


Out of curiosity.... How many times is it that you have responded now
since you Kill Filled me last year ?
