In reply to the discussion: You remember that big anti-organic food study last week? Guess who funded it. [View all]longship
(40,416 posts)First, To criticize this study merely because you do not like its outcome and who funded it would be incorrect. If the science is valid, it doesn't matter who funds it.
Second, this is not the first study that shows that organic agriculture has no health benefits. Anybody paying attention would know that already since these studies have been done for years.
Third, me posting this does not make me a big Ag shill. I am just a person who follows science and wants people to at least try to get it right.
I like organics because I think, for instance, that a tomato ought to taste like a tomato. But I cannot always afford to buy organic, so I often have to eat tasteless tomatoes, etc. But I've long known that there is no health advantage to organics.
Why would this be surprising to anybody? And if Ag company X funded a study that concluded this, it doesn't make it false.
Just sayin'
