Which Is Healthier, Organic Or Conventionally Grown?

Dear Reader,

When it comes to which is better for you, some people swear by organically grown, while others stick to the conventionally grown foods; but is one really better for you than the other? Experts have produced rock solid scientific arguments for both sides, which make it tough to know what to do. The debate has provided lots of controversy in the scientific community even as a $30 billion dollar market for organically grown foods has come into being.

Organics are usually chosen for two reasons - health and nutritional superiority that comes as the result of a lack of synthetic pesticides used during their growth. This perception, known as the "health halo effect", assumes that if a food is healthy in one way, it is healthy in all ways. That is a dangerous assumption and many experts have come to be skeptical of such claims in recent years.

The US Department of Agriculture has a definition, and a requirement about the organic nature of any item sold in the U.S. Organic foods tend to be more expensive because of the manual labor involved in growing t hem, the higher cost of fertilizer and crop rotation, as well as the rather significant costs in certifying any product as organic.

A meta analysis appearing in the British Journal of Nutrition, conducted just this year examined 343 different published studies that compared composition differences between organically and conventionally grown crops. The work was carried out by a team at Newcastle University and found organic fruits and veggies were up to 70% richer in some (but by no means all) key antioxidants, and far lower in harmful heavy metals and pesticide residue.

Challengers say the results are not conclusive, and point out flaws (including publication bias) and misleading conclusions in the study. In fact, there was also evidence that organic foods have lower concentrations of fiber and protein, higher concentrations of carbs, though the differences are small.

Which Is Healthier, Organic Or Conventionally Grown? Continued...


Two other research projects (2009 in the UK; 2012 at Stanford), of similar size and scope, both found that there's insufficient evidence of a difference in the nutrient content of organic as compared to conventionally grown. As you can see, the science is so divided it's hard to know what to do.

You need to understand that organically grown does not mean pesticide free. It's not that organically grown doesn't use pesticides, they do, it's the origin of the pesticides that are used that is the difference here. Organic farming uses pesticides that come from natural (plant or mineral) sources, not synthetic ones. Just because a chemical is "natural" does not necessarily mean it is safe or better than a synthetic - this is a misconception that is very dangerous for all of us, and an important point of distinction to keep in mind.

As a consumer, you need to make choices that are best for your own circumstances, lifestyle and overall goals. Now you can make those choices as a more informed buyer. In the end, eating more fruits and veggies, whether organically grown or not, is so important for your overall health and well-being. Put your efforts there, and wait for the science to sort itself out.
