I have never heard anyone claim that organic foods have more vitamins than non-organics. Yet, these "scientists" use *that* measure to claim that organics are no healthier than non-organics.

If they were honest, they would measure some of the claims actually made by organic supporters.

They do note that organic meats have a substantially lower incidence of antibiotic-resistant germs : )

I'm not even that all into organics myself, but this is an incredibly illogical argument.

I saw that article and wondered if Monsanto funded the research!
