Do you prefer organic foods over conventional foods? I know some people who does thinking it may help them improve their health. However, according to a new research review, they found no strong evidence that organic foods bring nutrition-related health benefits.

Here are a few quote from the article Organic foods may not really be healthier

A "disappointingly small" number of well-designed studies have looked at whether organic foods may have health benefits beyond their conventional counterparts', according to the review, by researchers with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Health in the UK.

Moreover, they found, what studies have been done have largely focused on short-term effects of organic eating — mainly antioxidant activity in the body — rather than longer-term health outcomes. And most of the antioxidant studies failed to find differences between organic and conventional diets.
We all know that organic foods are made without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, etc, therefore, they should be a healthier choice. But several studies just proved that may not be true at all.
