The Absolute Basics Between Food Chemistry and "Organic"
Why is Going Beyond Organic So Important?
Food chemistry trumps everything. These four links provide the absolute bottom line.
What is Organic
Organic Is Not a Viable Environmental Solution
J. A. McGee is a Ph.D. student in sociology with a concentration in environmental sociology at University of Oregon. His research explores the development and environmental impacts of sustainable markets. He recently posted an intriguing study at https://www.academia.edu/.
Nutritional Quality of Organic Foods: A Systematic Review
On the basis of a systematic review of studies of satisfactory quality, there is no evidence of a difference in nutrient quality between organically and conventionally produced foodstuffs. The small differences in nutrient content detected are biologically plausible and mostly relate to differences in production methods. This is from an extensive report published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Are Organic Foods Nutritionally Superior to Conventional Foods?
Nearly all food borne illnesses come from organic sources. They are bacteria, viruses, molds, and fungi. Grains and sugars are organic, yet they are very destructive to human health. These "organic" substances cause nearly all of the chronic diseases in America. But what if foods are grown "organically"? Is that truly healthier, tastier, and better for the environment?
