There are plenty of reasons to eat organically produced food, but it turns out health benefits may not be one of them.
According to a new study, which tested organically grown onions, potatoes, and carrots, there are no discernible health benefits when comparing organic food to that grown with regular fertilizers and pesticides.
"On the basis of the present study carried out under well controlled conditions, it cannot be concluded that organically grown onions, carrots, and potatoes generally have higher contents of health-promoting secondary metabolites in comparison with the conventionally cultivated ones," reads the report.
