Organic Food Blog

One of the largest studies ever done on the effects of eating organic food was conducted last year and released in November told many of us what we already knew about eating organic: it is good for you!

Conducted by Newcastle University in England and funded, to the tune of $30 million, by the European Union, found that:

• Produce cultivated organically had higher levels of compounds and minerals that have been proven to help the body fight off health disease and improve overall health.
• Vegetables grown organically had up to 40% more nutrients than non-organic vegetables. 
• Organic milk contains more than 90% more nutrients than regular cow’s milk.

The fact that a reputable university reported these findings and the fact that so much money was invested in organic food research and the benefits of eating organic really shows that, despite critics, there are certain benefits to eating organically. It’s not an easy process to begin, but as this study shows, is well worth the investment in your health.
