The organic food industry, world wide, is growing . It is considered safe, healthier and environment friendly. Many young people prefer organic food to junk food, considering the many benefits it offers.
But is it really better ? As in any subject , there are controversies. There are many, who argue that the organic food does not offer any additional benefits for the extra cost, we have to pay for organic food.
The main points of the opponents are :
1. Eating organic food increases exposure to microbiological contaminants
2. It does not taste better
3. Its health effects are not proved
4. The higher cost of organic food
The studies conducted do not indicate any evidence for microbiological contaminants. There was no "statistically different" risk in the pathogenic contamination of organic food verses its conventionally produced counterparts. The organic food must comply with the same safety , quality standards applied to conventional food. Organic products have significantly lower pesticide residues than the conventional food
Food produced by organic methods taste better and contain a better balance of vitamins and minerals. Though different studies show pro and against the above conclusions, majority of the findings agree with the above conclusions.
Choose organic food , which is produced by a more natural way. Robust health is important to live your life fully.
