Organically grown foods higher in cancer-fighting chemicals than

conventionally grown foods

 

 

 

 

 

Fruits and veggies grown organically show significantly higher levels of

cancer-fighting antioxidants than conventionally grown foods, according to a

new study of corn, strawberries and marionberries. The research suggests that

pesticides and herbicides actually thwart the production of phenolics —

chemicals that act as a plant's natural defense and also happen to be good

for our health. Fertilizers, however, seem to boost the levels of anti-cancer

compounds.
