AUGUST 14. COPENHAGEN – There is a widespread belief among people all over the world that vegetables, which are grown normally by farmers for commercial purposes, may not be good for the health.
The plants, in such cases, are usually treated with a lot of chemicals to increase their productivity. This ensures a greater yield for the farmers.
However, there was a belief that these chemicals would be harmful for the people, who would consume the vegetables. This is why people in the modern world prefer organic foods, as they are grown without the use of any chemicals and pesticides.
A recent study has proved that there is no guarantee if the organic foods would be better than those grown using chemicals and pesticides.
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen conducted a survey using vegetable plants that they grew using different methods. Some were grown using pesticides and chemicals, while others were grown using organic soils.
When the plants yielded the vegetables, it was found that although the vegetables were grown differently, there was no difference in the quality of the vegetables, which were eventually produced.
So next time you go to the market do not worry about how the vegetable you are buying was grown, just buy it. Organic or not organic, all vegetables have the same quality.

Artificial fertilizers and pesticides are made from petrochemicals, which come from oil. These chemicals are changed molecularly so that they no longer resemble anything in nature, yet they mimic the hormone estrogen. They are called “xenoestrogens” and they are causing die-off of millions of marine and other animals, markedly decreased sperm count worldwide (50% decrease in the last 60 years, this is ENORMOUS), what do you think will happen 60 years from NOW if we don’t stop? They also have been proven time and again to cause cancer, chemical sensitivities, asthma and asexual growth patterns including premature sexual development in both humans and animals. These toxic chemicals are now found everywhere and in everybody (including breastmilk). The fertilizers also cause chemical contamination of the soil and depletion of minerals, so the farming method is UNSUSTAINABLE. If we don’t stop producing and using these chemicals NOW, the Earth will not support life in the coming years. These chemicals do not bio or photo degrade, they stay around poisoning everything FOREVER.
