New Studies Show Organic Food has Higher Nutritional Quality

hopefully this doesn't come as a surprise to anyone. better flavor,healthier food because the soil is healthy. it's a pretty simple concept really. poison the medium you're growing food in and you end up with food that's been poisoned.

New Studies Show Organic Food has Higher Nutritional Quality


Three new European research projects have just revealed that organic tomatoes, peaches and processed apples all have higher nutritional quality than non-organic, supporting the results of research from America on kiwi fruit reported 26 March 2007. <1>

Researchers found that organic tomatoes “contained more dry matter, total and reducing sugars, vitamin C, B-carotene and flavonoids in comparison to the conventional ones”, while conventional tomatoes in this study were richer in lycopene and organic acids. <2>

Previous research has found organic tomatoes have higher levels of vitamin C, vitamin A and lycopene.

In the latest research, the scientists conclude “organic cherry and standard tomatoes can be recommended as part of a healthy diet including plant products which have shown to be of value in cancer prevention” <3>

A French study has found that organic peaches “have a higher polyphenol content at harvest” and concludes that organic production has “positive effects … on nutritional quality and taste”
