“Organic review published”.

An independent review commissioned by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) shows that there are no important differences in the nutrition content of organic food when compared with conventionally produced food. This study does not mean people should not eat organic food. It was carried out by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). This research was split into two separate parts, one of which looked at differences in nutrient levels, while the other looked at the health benefits of eating organic food. Dr. Dangour, the principal author of the paper,&nbsp; said: “A small number of differences in nutrient content were found to exist between organically and conventionally produced crops and livestock, but these are unlikely to be of any public health relevance. Our review indicates that there is currently no evidence to support the selection of organically over conventionally produced foods on the basis of nutritional superiority”.<BR><BR>&nbsp;“Food Standard Agency”, 29 July 2009,<A href="http://www.food.gov.uk/">www.food.gov.uk</A><BR><BR&gt;
