No Significant Nutritional Difference

July 20, 2016

A study at Stanford University found in 2012 that there was no significant difference nutritionally between conventional and organic food. Another study, which was published in February of 2016 came to the same conclusion, though specifically looked at animal products.

The good news for consumers is that you don’t have to feel bad about choosing conventional choices for your family. They’re just as healthy and nutritious!

Studies show there is no significant nutritional difference between conventional and organic food.

    Can you link to the study? I am not a member of the Annals of Internal Medicine. These things seem to come to the conclusion that supports the preconceived ideas of whoever pays for the study. Testing protocols can be designed to show the desired outcome. I did find something interesting in the summary – 30% less pesticide residue in organic and 33% less bacteria that are resistant to 3 or more antibiotics.

    I find it interesting that you only promote the first 1/2 of the study’s conclusion, yet have no mention of the second part. “Conclusion: The published literature lacks strong evidence that organic foods are significantly more nutritious than conventional foods. Consumption of organic foods may reduce exposure to pesticide residues and antibiotic-resistant bacteria.”

      I think you’re really trying to hard to find something wrong with this. It is absolutely unbelievable that with ZERO evidence you have suggested there is something wrong with the study because it does not fit your preconceived notions. Suggesting that it has been bought and paid for shows a lack of understanding of the scientific process. As does suggesting that the testing protocols are skewed to reach a certain result. I suggest you look up more about the peer review process.

      This meme was about the first part of the conclusion, not the second part of the conclusion. That’s why it wasn’t addressed. Graphics can only handle so much text. That being said, the second half is something I have addressed elsewhere and is also a red herring. Pesticide residue is NOT something people need to be concerned about at all. Assuming that this study actually tested for organic pesticides (which is not something that is always done, hence the reason organic will have less pesticide residue), that still doesn’t mean there is a problem. I suggest checking out the pesticide calculator to get some perspective on this: http://safefruitsandveggies.com/pesticide-calculator

Whoops! Looks like I missed #NationalAgricultureDay.We're on a family vacation in Florida this week. We hit SeaWorld, Universal Studios, Magic Kingdom, and Animal Kingdom.

Oh, man. These lyrics are hitting me in all the fe Oh, man. These lyrics are hitting me in all the feels right now.

"When they pave all the dirt roads and John Deeres are dinosaurs

When the last back forty gets sold and young boys don't open doors

When you can't hunt a white tail and keep what you reel in

Well, I hope I'm in Heaven by then

Oh, I don't wanna go today, but I don't wanna live

Down here at a place that thinks that that place don't exist

If there comes a day this country's somewhere country don't fit in

Hell, I hope I'm in Heaven by then."

"Heaven By Then," Brantley Gilbert & Blake Shelton

If you want to buy certified organic products, that's totally your choice! But you should also know what you're buying and what it actually means. Often that reality is different than organic marketing.
