Is organic food really healthier?

Organic foods may have higher nutritional value than conventional food, according to some research. The reason: In the absence of pesticides and fertilizers, plants boost their production of the phytochemicals. Vitamins and antioxidants, that strengthen their resistance to bugs and weeds. Some studies have linked pesticides in our food to everything from headaches to cancer to birth defects — but many experts maintain that the levels in conventional food are safe for most healthy adults. Even low-level pesticide exposure, however, can be significantly more toxic for fetuses and children. Due to their under developed immune systems and for pregnant it puts added strain on their already taxed organs, according to a report by the National Academy of Sciences. So it has to be a yes for me, our ancestors ate organic foods before us and lived a long time. As of now we are passing away faster then we may know, and most of it is due to our daily intake of these toxic foods.
