(36,927 posts)The study did not test for pesticides commonly used by the organic industry, nor did it test for pesticides inherent to the plants themselves. They only tested for pesticides used in conventional agriculture and unsurprisingly the results given produce exactly the result the obviously biased authors wanted. "only suggesting that they could not be good" simply stokes the irrational fears of the chemophobic. When pesticide levels are found which are many orders of magnitude lower than what can be expected to cause biological harm, lowering those levels to one more magnitude of statistically negligible levels is of zero benefit to consumers which is why the authors artfully dance around the subject. The reason why they can never claim any sort of health benefit is because there is none. You are free though, to add shit and stir.
