	Organic Food Has No More Nutritional Value Than Food Grown With Pesticides, Study Shows http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1218471348 New research in the latest issue of the Society of Chemical Industry's (SCI) Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture shows there is no evidence to support the argument that organic food is better than food grown with the use of pesticides and chemicals.
