The truth about organic food - according to science by Professor Tim Spector

Summary:

* Organic food doesn't contain antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, or artificial fertilisers.
* Pesticides from non-organic food can affect gut microbes, causing concerns about health implications.
* Organic food may have more nutrients, minerals and polyphenols compared to non-organic food.
* The risk of cancer from pesticides is relatively small, especially if consumed occasionally, but long-term exposure may be a concern.
* Foods with high pesticide levels include oats, rice, cucumbers, pears, nectarines and strawberries.
* Avocados and onions are among the safer foods due to their protective layers.
* Washing and peeling can reduce pesticide levels, but not to organic levels.
* Organic frozen and canned foods can be good alternatives and may have lower costs.
* Pregnant women and those feeding young children should be particularly cautious about pesticide exposure.
* Organic food options can vary between countries, with the US having higher pesticide levels compared to some European countries.
* It is recommended to prioritise organic for foods regularly consumed and over the long term.
