Scientists about the benefits of organic products Bashny.Net

Nutrition experts came to the conclusion that organic vegetables and fruit is useful for our health because of the high content of antioxidants and fewer pesticides and heavy elements.

The team from Newcastle University analyzed 343 previous studies conducted around the world, looking at the composition of organic and conventional crops. Scientists came to the conclusion that the transition to a diet of organic fruits, vegetables and grains and foods made from them, provides a significant increase in the consumption of antioxidants. Moreover, such agricultural products had levels of pesticides are a quarter less compared to conventional products, and there were lower levels of toxic heavy metals.





Car research Professor Leifert: "These findings show that the choice of food produced according to organic standards can lead to increased consumption of antioxidants and reduced exposure to toxic heavy metals".

The results contradict the statement of the food standards Agency, which said that there are no significant advantages in organic food. However, the Professor Leifert said: "the Main difference between the two studies is time. We had much more data available now than five years ago. We showed the differences between organic and conventional crops". The original FSA study based its conclusions on the results of 46 studies, but scientists at Newcastle received data from 343 peer-reviewed publications.
