Here it is, what we've all known for, well, for ever ....

"ORGANIC food is substantially more healthy and beneficial, according to a massive pan-European survey based on a farm owned by Newcastle University.

The 14 million pound survey, the biggest survey ever carried out in Europe, "proved" that organic fruit and vegetables have 40% more vitamins and disease-preventing anti-oxidants - and organic milk held a staggering 90% more."

Of course, vested interest has had a manful go at stemming the tide of information but the truth will out:

"The government's Food Standards Agency (FSA) recently criticised organic food, saying that its benefits over conventional produce were questionable. The present Foreign Secretary David Miliband, when he was DEFRA minister, said the difference between the two was largely a choice of lifestyle, rather than healthy eating."

Reducing this finding to just one of its components, it is logical to assume that organic food may actually be a cheaper way to purchase the necessary nutrients for health, as you need to eat less to obtain what you need!

This massive piece of research should serve to open people's eyes to the truth and to the obvious fact that we should all be eating 'organic'. It would be great to look into the future and see 'organic food' becoming the norm, just being called 'food' and what is currently 'ordinary food' being labelled 'chemical food'. After all, 'organic' was basically what everyone ate, before the march of the agro-chemical industry.
