going organic, part 1, questions
#13
I'll post more about this later...but it's not all a sham. While I too suspect that some recent entrants into the organic marketplace are pushing the rules for the sake of profit, on it's own organic food WILL BE better for you than conventionally grown food (the only question is how much better?).

The reason for this is evident through a simple thought exercise. Basically the idea is the less your immune system has to handle, the less likelihood of disease manifesting itself. If you task your immune system beyond it's capabilities, then disease appears. Of course your immune systems capabilities are determined by such factors as diet, sleep, exercise, stress, etc. But even an immune system in optimal condition can only handle so much of a disease causing agent. Therefore if organic foods have significantly less of a chemical load than conventional foods, then your immune system has less to deal with. And in a statistically large enough population set, that should show itself.

And besides, it's hard to draw the conclusion that chemicals aren't bad for you if we have a longer life. There are other factors that may be more important, like better medical care, far less physical labor...to name a few.
