to vway2's comment: obviously this person doesn't get the fact that what goes into the body has more impact on the health of the body. This is the larger problem. Most disease can be traced to contamination to the body from foods, water, air, and environment. When people wake up and realise how bad for the body "medicine" really is then we will have truly made a quantum leap and perhaps be willing to address real health issues.

Misinformation?

What about the new study done by the British government with overwhelming findings that Organic food is no better than industrialized food?

[nichens]

overwhelming findings? have you read the report?

as far as i know it isn't being made public, which is often the case when groups want to manipulate the findings and pick and choose the parts that work in their favour.

i think you would do well to use some discernment and investigate the groups behind the studies that make all of the mainstream newspapers. do you think it's a coincidence that there is little to no coverage of the data that proves organic food is more nutritious and far safer ->

[nichens]

than that conventionally grown.

please don't fall for this agenda!

[OMGLOLproductions]

what do you mean by "no better?" If you're talking about nutrients there are too many variables-- such as whether or not the organic produce was local and as fresh as the conventional produce. And I can't see how it would be better for the environment-- especially the soil.

[stangeriam]

LOL...you MUST take a look at WHERE these studies derived from....the government....LOL.....LOL....L­OL....

[topheramazz]

wher can i find that study. id love to see it. thanx.

[logsliderrjh]

I buy both organic and non - organic vegetables and there is no contest- the organic veges always taste and look better!

You really "trust" all GOVERNMENT studies?

[lakshmi313]

What? You honestly believe that???

A primary fact the FAILED to mention was that Organically grown AVOIDs all the pesticides, chemicals and toxins used in the main stream mass produced food chains. That alone merits eating Organics. AND the fact the study of course didn't address the fact that organic foods are, for the most part, grown in soils that actually "nourish" the foods. As Liberty asks above~ you really trust Government, any government for that matter, regarding your health???

[vway2]

Thanks Dr. Mercola. I'm not sure this is the best approach to take though.

While I appreciate your understanding and wanting to fix some of the problems with medicine specifically, shouldn't we focus our energies on the larger problems with "health care" system itself?

What about the insurance industry and government involvement in the doctor-patient relationship?

[harpermd]

thank you!

[drmassone]

No Doc thanks for your Help! What do you think of hormone replacement?

[GnosticNinja]

A perfect model & all important point.

If I don't like inhaling tobacco laced with hundreds of toxic chemicals then I should choose a bar or eatery that doesn't support that.

To say nobody should be allowed is called FASCISM. (look it up)

If I don't want to shoot mercury into my veins that too shall be MY decision.

Education is key... there is no excuse.

What these corpse-orations do is preach ignorance then blame the purchaser for being enticed.

[yamanutrition]

you got my help!

Mercola, what do you think of the Zeitgeist movement? Great video by the way :)
