Organic Food Is Healthier

Organic Food Is Healthier

Base on AFFSA study, there are more nutritious in organic food, and they are safer rather than another inorganic foods.

The study mainly finds that :

  1. There are more iron, magnesium, antioxidants and micronutrients in organic fruit.
  2. Organic animal products are higher in heart-healthy polyunsaturated fatty acids, and cows raised on grass have a higher muscle mass, which means leaner meat.
  3. They didn’t make a call on natural carbohydrates, such as cereals, because there wasn’t enough data. Yet, they noted that organic barley is higher in calcium, zinc, and copper.
  4. “94–100% of organic food does not contain any pesticide residues.” This is huge. Not only are pesticides hard on the environment, certain pesticides are linked to cancer and other health issues.
    Organic vegetables contain far fewer nitrates – about 50% fewer. Nitrates are nasty business. Dr Suzanne de la Monte of Rhode Island Hospital recently released results linking nitrates to health problems such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease.
