It says both the organic & non-organic certified food were bought at Whole Foods. It doesn't say if they were the same variety. It doesn't say if the time from picking to eating varied. Were the non-organic certified more likely to be varieties bred for long-distance shipping rather than nutritional content?<br /><br />My strong suspicion is that products in Whole Foods that are organic certified are more likely to have other factors that make there healthier. In that way, organic certification is a proxy for other things that make the food healthier, but publishing an article saying something like, "fresher food is healthier," wouldn't have gotten as much attention.Dan Hnoreply@blogger.com
