Finally, an Organic Food That's Worth the Cost

While it's true that organic food tends to be more eco-friendly and contains fewer pesticides, it's always been doubtful as to whether or not the food is actually more nutritious.

After looking at over 250 studies, the researchers concluded that organic meat and milk is indeed healthier than the conventional kind, as they contain about fifty percent more healthy omega-3 fatty acids than the conventional kind. Organic milk also had 40 percent more conjugated linoleic acid, which may aid in weight loss, as well as extra iron, iodine, vitamin E, and selenium, which may improve your risk of heart disease.
