LONDON (Reuters) - Organic food has no nutritional or health benefits over ordinary food, according to a major study published Wednesday.
A systematic review of 162 scientific papers published in the scientific literature over the last 50 years, however, found there was no significant difference.
"A small number of differences in nutrient content were found to exist between organically and conventionally produced foodstuffs, but these are unlikely to be of any public health relevance," said Alan Dangour, one of the report's authors.
"Our review indicates that there is currently no evidence to support the selection of organically over conventionally produced foods on the basis of nutritional superiority."
The results of research, which was commissioned by the British government's Food Standards Agency, were published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Sales of organic food have fallen in some markets, including Britain, as recession has led consumers to cut back on purchases.
The Soil Association said in April that growth in sales of organic products in Britain slowed to just 1.7 percent in 2008, well below the average annual growth rate of 26 percent over the last decade, following a plunge in demand at the end of the year."

I may be a Smart Ass and my logic may be 'ass-in-nine' but I'm really skeptical about research projects that kick good common Donkey sense in the 'ass'.
Have you seen those studies where the kids who eat organic have their 'pee' analyzed in comparison to the 'pee' from kids who don't eat organic? I don't have to tell you those results...do I?
What about the case where the Zoo monkeys chose organic bananas, skin and all, over the chemically treated ones? And we are smarter than monkeys...
...don't like to get myself in a knot but I would wonder who may have sponsored these scientific studies...la-T-dah...
