The Dirt on Organics: Essential Answer - January/February 2013 By Anna Hallingstad, Lindley Mease, Priya Fielding-Singh, Chad La Tourette and Isabella Akker I've heard news reports about a Stanford School of Medicine study that found organic foood isn't any healthier than conventionally grown food.

Using meta-analysis, Bravata’s team pooled together 237 peer-reviewed studies addressing the nutritional benefits of organic and conventionally grown foods. The researchers found few differences in the nutritional content of organic and conventional foods. That said, the verdict is not final on the nutritional differences between organic and conventional foods. Why did the Stanford study inspire such controversy after other studies received little attention?
