I prefer to eat organically grown food when I can, so it’s good to see this news item:

Organic is healthier: Kiwis prove that green is good:

Scientists have proven that organically grown kiwifruit contain significantly increased levels of health-promoting polyphenols. They also had a higher overall antioxidant activity, as well as higher levels of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and important minerals compared with their conventionally grown counterparts. Also, compounds in grapefruit and oranges have been shown to lower blood cholesterol, which could help prevent heart disease.
