The health benefits of organic foods have been recently put into question in the United States by various studies with scientific credentials. This is a rather interesting development given the steady growth of the American organic foods segment in an otherwise stagnant food market. It turns out that these consumers, who choose to spend more money on food than common wisdom seemingly says they need to, may actually be onto something: a three-week study led by the Swedish Environmental Research Institute with a family of five yielded astonishing results. The level of pesticides found in their bodies dropped just as quickly as dramatically. Since the science has yet to prove that the long-term health effects of a pesticides cocktail in the body is negligible, erring on the side of caution seems like a wise choice to us.
