Organic Center Report Indicates Organic Foods Have Elevated Levels of Antioxidants

According to an article posted at Citizens.org website, certain organic farming and food processing techniques can increase antioxidant levels.

FOSTER, R.I. (January 26, 2005) - The Organic Center's second State of Science Review (SSR) concludes that organic farming methods have the potential to elevate average antioxidant levels, especially in fresh produce. Charles Benbrook, Ph.D., compiled and analyzed existing scientific information for his report, Elevating Antioxidant Levels Through Organic Farming and Food Processing. The report reveals that on average, antioxidant levels were about 30 percent higher in organic food compared to conventional food grown under the same conditions. An executive summary and the entire report can be found at: http://www.organic-center.org/science.htm?articleid=54.
