What is Organic Food, and is it better than
Non-Organic?

• Organic foods have blown up in popularity over
  the last two decades. In fact, US consumers spent
  39.1 billion on organic manufactured in 2014.
  The popularity does not seem to be slowing down,
  as sales enhanced by more than 11 from 2014 to
  2015. Many people think organic food is secure,
  healthier and tastier than daily food. Others say
  its best for the environment and the well-being
  of animals. This article objectively collates
  organic and non-organic foods, involving their
  nutrient content and effects on human health.

What is Organic Food?

• The term organic refers to the process of how
  to hold foods are manufactured. Organic foods
  have been grown or farmed without the use of fake
  chemicals, hormones, antibiotics or genetically
  modified organisms. In order to be labeled
  organic, a food product must be free of fake food
  additives. This involves artificial sweeteners,
  preservatives, coloring, flavoring and monosodium
  glutamate (MSG). Organically grown assortment
  tends to use natural fertilizers like manure to
  better plant growth. Animals raised organically
  are also not given antibiotics or hormones.
  Organic farming tends to better soil quality and
  the conservation of groundwater. It also
  decreases pollution and may be better for the
  environment. The most commonly buy organic foods
  are fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products,
  and meat. Nowadays there are also many processed
  organic products obtainable, such as sodas,
  cookies and breakfast cereals.

Organic Foods May Contain More Nutrients

• Studies collate the nutrient content of organic
  and non-organic foods have offered mixed results.
  This is most possibly due to natural variation in
  food handling and production. Besides, the
  evidence does recommend that foods fatten
  organically may be more nutritious.

Organically Grown Crops Have More Antioxidants
and Vitamins

• Several studies have got that organic foods
  generally contain higher levels of antioxidants
  and certain micronutrients, such as vitamin C,
  zinc and iron. In fact, antioxidant levels can be
  up to 69 lofty in these foods. One study also
  got that organically grown berries
  and corn contained 58 more antioxidants and up
  to 52 higher amounts of vitamin C. Whats more,
  one study reported that replacing daily fruit,
  vegetables and cereals with organic versions
  could offer extra antioxidants in the diet. This
  was similar to eating 1-2 extra portions of fruit
  and vegetables daily. Organic plants do not rely
  on chemical pesticide sprays to save themselves.
  Alternatively, they offer more of their own
  protective compounds, namely antioxidants. This
  may partly describe the higher levels of
  antioxidants in these plants.

Nitrate Levels are Generally Lower

• Organically grown crops have also been revealing
  to have lower levels of nitrate. In fact, studies
  have revealed that nitrate levels are 30 lower
  in these crops. High nitrate levels are connected
  to an increased danger of certain types of
  cancer. Theyre also connected to a situation
  called methemoglobinemia, a disease in infants
  that influence the bodys ability to carry
  oxygen.

Organic Dairy and Meat May Have A More Favorable
Fatty Acid Profile

• Organic milk and dairy products may hold higher
  levels of omega-3 fatty acids and slightly higher
  quantity of iron, vitamin E and some carotenoids.
  Besides, organic milk may hold less selenium and
  iodine than non-organic milk, two minerals that
  are necessary for health. A review of 67 studies
  got that organic meat contained higher levels of
  omega-3 fatty acids and slightly lower levels
  of saturated fats than conventional meat. A high
  amount of intake of omega-3 fatty acids has been
  linked with many health benefits, involving a
  decreased danger of heart disease.

Fewer Chemicals and Resistant Bacteria

• While some studies got organic foods to contain
  more nutrients, many others have found inadequate
  evidence to suggest organic over inorganic. An
  observational study collates the nutrient intakes
  of nearly 4,000 adults swallow either organic or
  conventional vegetables found conflicting
  results. Although a slightly higher intake of
  hold nutrients was seen in the organic group,
  this was most possibly due to higher overall
  vegetable utilizing. A review of 55 studies found
  no differences in the nutrient content of organic
  versus daily crops, with the exception of lower
  nitrate levels in organic manufacture. Another
  review of 233 studies found the absence of
  powerful evidence to finish that organic foods
  are more nutritious than dairy foods.
  Nevertheless, it is necessary to remember that
  these studies vary quite widely in their results.
  This is because the nutrient content of food
  based on many factors, such as soil quality,
  weather situations and when the crops are
  harvested.

Do Organic Foods Have Health Benefits?

• There is some evidence recommended that organic
  foods have health benefits. For example, some lab
  studies got that their higher antioxidant content
  helped save cells from damage. And animal studies
  show that organic diets may benefit growth,
  replication and the immune system. One study also
  reported that chickens fed an organic diet
  revealed decreased weight gain, and had powerful
  immune systems. Observational studies in humans
  have connected organic foods to a lower danger of
  allergies and eczema in children and infants. A
  large observational study of 623,080 women found
  no difference in cancer danger between those who
  never ate organic food and those who ate it
  daily.
