What are the benefits of eating organic food?

I’ve been thinking of switching to eating organic because everyone says how healthy it is. But really, what’s so healthy about it? When you look at the back of labels of a lot of organic food, there’s so much fat, sugar, and sodium… which is NOT healthy.

So what is it? What’s so healthy or great about organic foods?

    It’s mainly the fact that there are no pesticides, chemicals, etc. I ‘m pretty sure it hasn’t been proven that they are nutritionally superior to normal food.

    You’ve got to consider the types of food you are eating. Organic junk food is still junk food!

    There have been studies done that prove that there are more nutrients – vitamins and minerals in organic food (although I can’t remember the links).

    Pesticides and fungicides which are sprayed on to foods are highly toxic – if they are designed to kill insects (life) then they are also going to be harmful to humans.

    But to be healthy you need to look at your whole diet – eat as much fresh raw fruits and vegetables as you can and limit processed foods.
