The current body of research does not provide strong evidence that organic foods are significantly more nutritious than conventional foods. However, organic foods do offer the benefit of lower pesticide residues and reduced exposure to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. While some observational studies suggest potential health benefits, more rigorous long-term studies are needed to draw definitive conclusions. Overall, the choice between organic and conventional foods may be influenced by factors beyond nutrition, such as environmental impact and personal health beliefs.
