Linked from the USDA site here:Are Organic Foods Healthier? There is currently no scientific evidence that shows organic foods are safer, more nutritious, or healthier than conventionally grown food products. The Institute of Food Technologists (IFT), a nonprofit scientific society working in food science and technology, states that using organic foods are not one hundred percent free of pesticides or pathogens, and the practices used in conventional food production allow for an overall safe, healthy, and plentiful food supply. The bottom line: both organic and conventional foods provide equal nutritional value in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Since there is no strong research on either side of the issue, it is important to choose a variety of foods, organic or conventional, that fit into a healthy lifestyle.
