This study casts doubt on the belief that it’s just the nutrients that count.
“If people think that eating organic food makes them feel better then they are probably right," said Dr Brandt of the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne, who earlier this month pinpointed the compound in carrots that prevents cancer from developing.
