July 30/Hong Kong/South China Morning Post -- The Hong Kong Organic Resource Centre says organic food must be better for humans than conventionally produced food because it is less contaminated by chemicals, despite a recent British study's conclusion that organic food provides no extra significant nutritional benefit.
The independent study, funded by the United Kingdom Food Standards Agency, looked into studies comparing the nutritional values of organic and conventionally produced food and found that the results were based on the assumption that eating organic food was beneficial to health. However, the study concluded organic food was "unlikely to be of any public health relevance."
