Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed
for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now
being debated. Advocates of organic foods a term whose meaning varies
greatly- frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious
than others.
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of
the typical North American diet is a welcome development. However, much
of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the foods supply is
unsafe or inadequate in the meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these
claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written
material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to
separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting
entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other
benefits to health have become widely publicized and formed the basic for
folklore.
Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no-aging” diets, new
vitamins, and other wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated reports
that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are
nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than
fumigated grains, and the like.
One thing that most organically grown foods products seem to have in
common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods. But in many
cases consumers are misled if they believe foods. So there is real cause for
concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the
regular food supply and buy expensive organic foods instead.
