For decades we have been told that pesticides are safe—just wash your vegetables. We don’t really buy that and a new study has just confirmed our suspicions. Researchers have discovered that people who eat organic have lower levels of pesticides in their bodies than people who eat conventionally grown food. The study looked at dietary information of 4,500 individuals and analyzed the urine of a subset of 720 individuals and discovered that those who didn’t eat organic foods had higher levels of organophosphate, one of the most widely used pesticides. So if there was ever a question, always eat organic, it’s cleaner and better for you.
