Confirmed: organic foods are healthier

Two new studies are confirming what common sense told us years ago: that eating an organic diet leads to better health. A research team from Emory University analyzed the urine of children aged three to 11 who ate a fully organic diet and found that it did not contain any traces of common pesticides. However, as soon as these children returned to eating conventionally grown foods, levels of pesticides in their urine climbed dramatically. In the meantime, a new British study revealed that the mineral content of common foods has declined as much as 70% over the past 70 years.
