That is not true. The study you pointed to doesn't "prove" that at all.
Buying "organic" food leads to sharp pain in the back hip pocket area.
Gosh Paul, maybe one of us has a problem with reading and understanding?
The authors calculated cancer risk
Comparing the participants’ organic food scores with cancer cases, the researchers calculated a negative relationship between high scores (eating the most organic food) and overall cancer risk. Those who ate the most organic food were 25% less likely to develop cancer. Specifically, they were 73% less likely to develop non-Hodgkin lymphoma and 21% less likely to develop post-menopausal breast cancer.
Even participants who ate low-to-medium quality diets yet stuck with organic food experienced a reduced risk of cancer, the authors found.
