Organic Food Benefits

Finally there is scientific data about organic fruits and veggies. A four year, £12m study by Newcastle University found that organic produce has up to 40% more antioxidants than non-organic fruits and vegetables.

"We have shown there are more of certain nutritionally desirable compounds and less of the baddies in organic foods, or improved amounts of the fatty acids you want and less of those you don't want.", the project coordinator said. Results are to be published next March.
