About That Stanford Study
Regarding that “Stanford Study”, the good people at Austin’s Sustainable Food Center writes to say..
On September 3, 2012 the New York Times published an article about a Stanford University study that allegedly dispels the nutritional advantages of organic food. The response from the sustainable agriculture community regarding this study has been tremendous. Below we have provided links to articles we feel provide the best response to the claims made by this study.

I don’t know, Brendy. It seems that one of the co-authors has been linked to “Big Tobacco’s anti-science propaganda”, though… http://www.naturalnews.com/037108_Stanford_Ingram_Olkin_Big_Tobacco.html

From the study’s conclusion in the link you provided:
“Consumption of organic foods may reduce exposure to pesticide residues and antibiotic-resistant bacteria.”
That’s NOT significant to the study’s authors??? Sheesh. Thanks for the links, someone brought this topic up to be in a ‘ hardy-har’ way and I haven’t had time to go looking for info.
