Organic Matters

Vegetables by Karl Robb

I tweeted a story this morning that claimed studies prove that organic foods only real benefit is that they are lower in pesticides. As someone with young-onset Parkinson’s disease (PD) and knowing that studies show that PD results from exposure to pesticides, I would think the article would be far more pro-organic than it appears.

If you can reduce your exposure to any toxin, do it! Do you think organic prices are worth reduced pesticide exposure ?

I’d like to know what you think. Please read the article above and share your thoughts on organic versus conventional farming.
