Benefits of organic food
https://units.imamu.edu.sa/committees/Pcpep/news/Pages/%D9%81%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%A6%D8%AF%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%BA%D8%B0%D8%A7%D8%A1%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%B6%D9%88%D9%8A.aspx [3]
There is little scientific evidence to prove that organic foods are better in quality than traditional foodstuffs, and the scientific research conducted so far on various organic foods has not been able to provide strong evidence about the superiority of organic foods over inorganic foods.
Organic milk
Recent research conducted on organic milk has shown that it has more antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, CLA, and vitamins than inorganic milk. According to researchers at the Danish Institute of Agricultural Research at the University of Aberdeen and the Institute for Environmental and Grassland Research, organic milk is healthier than inorganic milk, since organic cows are grazing pastures leading to better quality of milk.
Organic tomatoes
According to a 10-year study by the University of California, Davis, organic tomatoes are produced in an environment that contains a low nutrient supply since nitrogen-rich chemical fertilizers are not added.
This leads to excessive formation of antioxidants, such as quercetin (top 79%) and caimferol (top 97%) in organic tomatoes. As I know we are all, antioxidants are good for health and help reduce heart disease and the chances of developing cancer (mRS).
