To Buy Organic or Not?
KEY POINTS
Are organically grown plant foods healthier than their commercially grown counterparts? Many of us think so, as we add those extra dollars to the bill in the store…
The debate is ongoing although studies over the last several years have shown clearly that paying the extra buck is justified.
A recent study of Tarozzi et al, published in European Journal of Nutrition in April 2006, compared organically and commercially grown red oranges in terms of their phyto-chemical contents (phenolics, anthocyanins and ascorbic acid) and their total antioxidant activity in laboratory research. The study showed that all of the above were significantly higher in the organic oranges.
