Surprise! Organics Are Good for People. . . A study about organics published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (April 2014) concludes that an organic diet contributes to human health. The study reviewed current research on the effect of organic agriculture and crops on public health. Finding a clear health advantage to consuming organic food, the research team states, “both animal studies and in vitro studies clearly indicate the benefits of consumption of organically produced food instead of that conventionally produced.” They cite increased phenolic compounds and lower pesticide residues in organic food, as well as less understood effects between its various constituents, as likely reasons for the public health benefits of organics. The Organic Center offers a summary of a similar study (July 2014) from the University of Newcastle in the United Kingdom showing the health benefits of organics.
