Is Organic food really better for you?
According to a multi-million pound project, the biggest study of its kind, claims have been made that organic food really is healthier than standard non-organic food and is more effective at preventing heart diseases and cancers. They claim that organic fruit and veg contain higher levels of zinc and iron, which are commonly lacking in many people’s diets.
The research has also shown that there is up to 40% more nutrients if produce is grown organically as opposed to conventional methods. However, if all the difference between organic and non organic produce is the percentage of nutrients and vitamins, then surely eating slightly more of non organic produce will bring up the levels of nutrients for possibly cheaper?
