FOOD RESEARCH
Switching to organic produce could help you live longer and keep you healthier and slimmer.
Fruit and vegetables grown without artificial fertilisers have significantly more key nutrients, including vitamin c.
As a result, going organic can extend average lifespans, typically by 25 days for men and 17 days for women.
But UK researchers suggest a lucky few could live for many months longer and some for up to five years more.
The University of Newcastle study argues it has as much benefit for the country as the national breast cancer screening program.
It also suggests eating organic is likely to improve general health, highlighting the higher levels of compounds which encourage the body to burn fat. This can help devotees shed kilos.
The conclusion challenges the Food Standards Agency, which has long dismissed the
health gains of organic food.
The results were welcomed by organic advocates who say better health is just one reason shoppers buy the produce.
A reduced use of chemicals, better animal welfare and improved husbandry of the
countryside are also cited. The researchers, based at Newcastle’s School of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development, reviewed recent research on nutrients found in organic food. They found that fruit and vegetables grown this way are richer in most of the beneficial substances called secondary metabolites and vitamin C.

“Eat more leafy greens!” we’re told… “Drink grass juices!” is the cry… “Eat spirulina!” Leafy greens, grass juices and
spirulina are the “deep-greens” of nutrition. We know we’re supposed to eat them, but do we know why?
