Is There Really a Difference Between Organic and Conventional Food?

Is there really a difference between organic and conventional food? A new 'study' has hit the mainstream media declaring that there is not, however it is fatally flawed.

In this video, I explain how the study failed to accurately address key aspects of what makes organic food truly healthy, and how the very few aspects that they did analyze actually lean towards organic food being the clear choice.

The study authors failed to identify the fact that organic food items do not contain things such as: GMOs (genetically modified organisms), artificial sweeteners, higher concentrations of bisphenol-a (BPA), cloned material (rBGH), and much more. They also fail to mention in the titles of the mainstream reports that the study actually revealed that organic food contained less pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, and antibiotics.

The researchers also failed to mention that the herbicides and pesticides used in conventional food items are oftentimes much more dangerous, with Roundup in particular (the #1 herbicide in the US created by Monsanto) being linked to conditions such as infertility, DNA damage, and cancer.

There certainly is a distinct difference between organic food and conventional, and it takes a bit of digging to realize that this study 'proving' that there isn't really does not examine many essential factors when reaching such an inaccurate conclusion.

Unbelievable, Monsanto MUST GO

[Perry Andrew]

First came, Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer. Then along came Roundup Ready® weed control technology (system encourages unprecedented reliance on a single herbicide—which, as biologists know, is likely to make resistance problems more severe).

BEHOLD Monsanto's latest creation to be unleashed worldwide:

Roundup Ready Corral®

is it ok to do a sience progect on this

[mykotron]

Lets not forget that I order to feed the amount of people on this planet we NEED GM foods. Monsanto may have been irresponsible but GMs are here to stay. You can't stop human progress. The knee jerk human reaction to think "we're playing god" as is done when ANY scientific advancement begins to help us, is common and troubling.

Yup.. you didn't do any research at all..

Ok, well, I'll skip over the irony in being insulted for insulting. And before I make my point, I should let you know that I could personally care less about organic vs conventional food. The issue I have is the strawman nature of this so called study, which basically concludes that there are no nutritional benefits to organic foods. And while that may be a fact, it's also a fact that a glass of orange juice has the same amount of vitamin C as a glass of orange juice mixed with gasoline.

So you shouldn't eat anything? Everything you eat or drink has toxins in it. Enough water becomes as lethal as mercury.

Look insults and no arguments. Just like a cultist.

If you want to get technical, with the sole exceptions of salt and water, ALL food is organic. Organic just means it comes from a living thing. To label food as organic is redundant. To label food as organic to boost the price is fraud.
