Researchers from Newcastle University in England have reviewed and conducted meta-analysis on 343 peer-reviewed scientific studies in an effort to find out if organic foods contained greater nutritional value than conventional foods. The results will probably shock some, but will confirm what many people already knew; organic foods are indeed much healthier for human consumption than ‘conventional’ foods.
At the same time, the researchers found that conventional foods contained greater concentrations of residual pesticides and the toxic metal cadmium.
Scientists have hypothesized that organic plants produce more antioxidants and natural toxins to defend themselves against insects and other environmental threats.
Shoppers often argue that organic foods are too pricey to purchase for an everyday diet. Well, if they contain more nutrition per serving, then the body would require less servings per meal.
Compare price based on the nutritional value of a food item rather than the amount, since no one wants to invite sickness which usually comes with a much heavy expenditure.
Similarly if more farmers move towards organic farming & packaging there will be adequate supply of organic foods in the market enabling a reduction in the cost price.
