Organic Has Health Benefits

Yes, it's got that pretty little USDA Organic seal.

Yes, it's a little more expensive.

Yes again, it does have health benefits!

It took 12 million pounds and 4 years of study, but in 2007 British Scientists, as reported in The Guardian, came to the following conclusion:

Some organic foods, including fruit, vegetables and milk, may be more nutritious than non-organic produce, according to an investigation by British scientists. Early results from a £12m study showed that organic fruit and vegetables contained up to 40% more antioxidants than non-organic varieties, according to Professor Carlo Leifert at Newcastle University, who leads the EU-funded Quality Low Input Food project.
