Do You Believe that Organic Foods are Better for You?

Recent studies say, not necessarily. What do you think?

According to recent studies reported in www.medpagetoday.com, all the hype about organic foods might be just that – hype. The publication reports that a review of several studies seems to indicate that there is no solid evidence that organic food are any healthier than the regular brands. Although some long-term trials may be lacking, in the short-term studies doctors at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif. concluded that there is no “robust evidence” to support the perception that conventional foods are any less healthy.

What do you believe? Do you specifically seek out organic alternatives believing them to be the healthier alternative?
