In a surprising new release, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Health in the United Kingdom, stated, that based on their studies, they believe that there is currently no strong evidence that organics food bring nutrition related health benefits.
They also review prior studies and found that most studies focus on short term effects of organic eating – mainly antioxidant activity to the body – and didn’t focus on the long term health outcomes.
While questions remain as to whether organic foods have any extra nutritional value, people buy organic for a number of other reasons as well.
Organic foods are made without the use of conventional pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, antibiotics or hormones — which could potentially reap benefits for people’s health and the environment.
