@shinokiba I gave you peer reviewed studies from independent studies that were NOT funded by any organic companies, farmers, etc.  The huge majority of independent studies suggest organic is generally more nutritious and animals fed organically generally lived longer, had less degenerative disease, less illness, better reproduction, etc. I also gave a study done by the French governments food safety agency(AFSSA). USDA reviewed 216 studies, the huge majority found organic is more nutritious.

@myndy86 So your proof that organic food is good is that these organic food companies say that they are good. You know how I know that walmart products are the best, because they told me.

@shinokiba 5. "A University of Iowa studylast year, found a new strain of MRSA -- in nearly three-quarters of hogs (70 percent), and nearly two-thirds of the workers (64 percent) -- on several farms in Iowa and Western Illinois. All of them use antibiotics, routinely. On antibiotic-free farms no MRSA was found." cbsnews.com/stories/2010/02/09­/eveningnews/main6191530.shtml

I could keep going if you want.

@shinokiba 4. Monsanto is currently doing damage control to prevent the further spread of superweeds such as hardy pigweed and tall waterhemp that are resistant to the company’s Roundup weedkiller. bizjournals"dot"com/stlouis/ne­ws/2010/10/19/monsanto-offers-­millions-of-dollars-in.html

@shinokiba 4. "Bayer AG has agreed to settle a lawsuit brought by a group of Texas rice growers over claims the company's experimental biotech rice contaminated the U.S. supply four years ago and decimated exports." "The company still faces thousands of claims," "In February, a jury ordered Bayer to pay $1.5 million in damages to three farmers for losses due to contamination by Bayer's genetically modified rice."

@shinokiba "mice were fed a diet containing MON810 or its parental control maize or a pellet diet containing a GM-free maize""MON810 maize induced alterations in the percentage of T and B cells and of CD4(+), CD8(+), gammadeltaT, and alphabetaT subpopulations of weaning and old mice fed for 30 or 90 days, respectively, at the gut and peripheral sites. An increase of serum IL-6, IL-13, IL-12p70, and MIP-1beta after MON810 feeding was also found." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/190072­33

@shinokiba "this study was designed to evaluate the effects of transgenic corn on the rats that were fed through three generations with either GM corn or its conventional counterpart.""there were some minimal histopathological changes in liver and kidney. Changes in creatinine, total protein and globulin levels were also determined in biochemical analysis." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/181913­19

@shinokiba "3 GMOs new side effects linked with GM maize consumption, which were sex- and often dose-dependent. Effects were mostly associated with the kidney and liver, the dietary detoxifying organs, although different between the 3 GMOs. Other effects were also noticed in the heart, adrenal glands, spleen and haematopoietic system. We conclude that these data highlight signs of hepatorenal toxicity, possibly due to the new pesticides specific to each GM corn." biolsci.org/v05p0706.htm

@shinokiba "This indicates that GM soy protein intake affected pancreas function, evidenced by the early acute PAP mRNA increased levels and pancreas cellular changes followed by recuperation of acinar cells after 30 days." onlinelibrary"dot"wiley.com/do­i/10.1002/jat.1319/abstract
