Is Organic Food a Scam? | Mark's Daily Apple Relatively well said in my opinion. The reason we eat organic isn't because it's more nutritious (even though some studies have found higher levels of antioxidants up to 55%) rather it's because we want to avoid pesticides. I think a major problem with all harmful substances that we're putting in our body is that they add up. Sure, eating a regulated, small amount of aspartame/MSG/whatever isn't going to kill you. But when you regularly eat garbage, along with regularly eating pesticides all while thinking that the "healthy" apple you're eating is a step in the right direction, it all adds up. Edit: ^Especially for kids/elderly.

Idk if those -cides are still being used but you can read it in the book "organic manifesto" As you can tell I enjoyed that book. Lol. Its a quick read and packed with info.
