The FSA Reports link and article from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition were sent to me by the lead researcher that supposedly demonstrates that organic food is no more or less nutritious than conventionally grown foods. I have not read it myself yet as he just sent it to me. I suspect the criteria used in the report may not be the same ones you or I may consider as deciding factors in what we consume and feed our families.
I thought I would share the actual report so you can read it for yourself as well and not rely on a reporter's sensational journalism for your health information on this important topic.
