Organic vs. Conventional food

Eating organic and "natural" foods is often equated with a healthy lifestyle in advertisements ( see Kashi blogpost). This is a controversial topic, with some saying there are no conclusive health benefits to eating organic over conventionally grown food.

The article Nutritional Differences in Organic versus Conventional Foods: And the Winner Is... appears on Scientific American's website as a blog post. It sets out to clear up the controversy between organic vs. conventional foods, but ends up saying as of now the results are inconclusive because of extreme variability in the studies that are meant to evaluate health differences between organic and conventional foods.

None the less, In the article The Truth About Organic Foods on RedBook's website advises readers to go organic if the can afford it based on the advice on a website representing Farmers Markets. This is a biased source, because Farmers' Markets often sell organic produce.
