While getting my typical morning fill on Google News, I happened to come across Only hype makes organic food healthier.

Obviously the author quantifies 'healthier' far differently than the medical community, health experts, and myself. I would definitely tend to lean towards looking at healthier as combination of being more nutritional/vitamin filled, having less chemicals/carcinogens, and higher fertility. All of these health benefits you will only receive from eating organic foods.

A relatively small number of people getting sick from organic produce does not make organic food unhealthy, and most certainly not less healthy than non-organic foods. All it means is that a couple of organic farms made some mistakes just like most every one of us has done today and will do tomorrow. The farmers who have caused the rash of sickness definitely need both to be punished and to correct their error in ways, but most organic food is perfectly safe to eat and is without a doubt far healthier than non-organic food.

I would venture to argue that we probably see a similar number of people sick from non-organic food products ALL THE TIME, and on top of that think about the masses that have or will have life long complications from all of the chemicals/pesticides, genetic modifications, decreased antioxidants, and lack of nutrients.

Next time you decide to write about a subject Judi, please study up on it a bit and make sure you are not the one spreading the 'hype'. Also, you might want to avoid links like this on your site if you want any credibility.
