23. 4 year EU study shows organic healthier
You wont get studies like this funded here where big agra rules. So here's a study from the EU;
http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/green-living/organic-food-is-healthier-and-safer-fouryear-eu-investigation-shows-395483.html

"Up to 40 per cent more antioxidants..."
"organic milk contains 60 per cent more antioxidants and desirable fatty acids"
"Organic milk contains higher amounts of vitamin E"
"Potatoes, kiwi fruit and carrots were among the organic produce found to be higher in vitamin C"
"Higher levels of minerals
and antioxidants were found in organically- farmed lettuce, spinach and cabbage"

Not studied is the actuarial, follow-up instances of increased health problems of conventional food vs. organic.
Anyone have a link for long-term medical ramifications?
