I never though organic food was more nutritious but I thought the (assumed) lack of pesticides and antibiotics would be beneficial but according to this I guess that's not the case?

From the article:
--"The word "toxic" has a meaning, and that is "having the effect of a poison." Anything can be poisonous depending on the dose. Enough water can even be poisonous in the right quantity (and can cause a condition called hyponatremia)."
--"Hari claims going organic will save you from pesticides, but organic farming uses pesticides too. Some of them are far more toxic than conventional pesticides. (Remember, the dose makes the poison. Neither apple would have enough pesticide by the time it reaches market to be harmful.)"

It's for this reason why I'm starting to think that the USDA should do away with the organic label, and this goes back to something I was discussing with B earlier in this thread. Replacing it with a table that states the explicit processes that weren't used would be actually be informative. But of course, most people are lazy and just want to take comfort in a shiny label with one seven-letter word.

Now, antibiotics are something I actually do have a concern about, though that concern is not so much food-related as it is the rise of superbacteria.

That's because the cancer-curing-industrial-complex doesn't want you to see them! :roll:

What about the philosophy that for every organic product I buy, a few less poor laborers are being dowsed with pesticides while they pick my food?

Not stuffing your body (and your kids) full of antibiotics is simple science, really. Your body needs to learn to fend for itself.

Yeah, that's good.

I'm constantly surprised by people who go on and on about the antibiotics in their food and how dangerous it is, but will start a regime of antibiotics at the first sign of a sniffle. There are more antibiotics in a few rounds from your doctor than you'll ever get for the food you eat.

My 4 year old got C Diff last winter. It was truly awful and I guess very rare in children. He had a pretty bad chronic sinus infection and the family doctor just kept prescribing antibiotics. We went along with it even though I knew it wasn't a good idea and it went really bad. We had to rush him to the emergency room. He was shitting blood every few minutes and was in really bad pain. He had to take some horrible medicine 4 times a day for a few weeks but we got very lucky and he got better. I guess there was a good chance the medicine might not work and could have been fatal. We switched doctors and they are great there I wish we did it earlier. I guess moral of the story is be careful with antibiotics.
