Is organic food healthier?

Organic fruit and vegetables might not be healthier and not more nutritious than conventional goods, according to the German newspaper Welt online. Danish scientists of the University of Copenhagen cultivated carrots, cabbage, peas, apples and potatoes on nearby fields with comparable grounds by applying three different methods (organic, conventional, and combined), analyzed their nutrient content and fed the products to rats. “There was no systematic difference”, according to Ms. Bügel from the University of Copenhagen. The scientists came to the conclusion that organic fruit and vegetables did not contain more nutrients or micro elements and that resorption was not better. The climate seemed to be playing a much more important role than the way of cultivating food, according to scientists of the “Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture”.
