Default What do you think of bio food?

I've just bought bio apples. They are very tasty, but it worthwhile to
pay more than non-bio? I mean, do they have much more vitamin and
mineral? Do the toxins like pesticids and insecticids found in non-bio
are that bad? I'm sure they're bad, but is there that much in apples
that it will affect your health? Thanks.

Jeri, I'm sorry. I should have said "organic".

Generall organic foods are made according to certain production standards, meaning they are grown without the use of conventional pesticides and artificial fertilizers, free from contamination by human or industrial waste, and processed without ionizing radiation or food additives. Currently, the European Union, the United States, Canada, Japan and many other countries require producers to obtain special certification in order to market food as organic within their borders. Studies showed that organic fruit and vegetables contain up to 40% more antioxidants than conventional equivalents, and that the figure was 60% for organic milk and also in was indicated that higher nutrient levels in organic fruit and vegetables compared with conventionally grown products
