August 5, 2009
A story in the Seattle Times has health-food advocates questioning the validity ofa recent British reportthat found organic isn't more or less nutritious than items conventionally grown.
Researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine said consumers were paying higher prices for organic food because of its perceived health benefits, but a review of 162 scientific papers published over the last 50 years found there was no significant difference.
Health-food advocates such as Nature's PathCEO Arran Stephensare promoting the benefits of organic-food procucts, claiming it isn't what's in the food that matters, it's what is not.
