Omnivore's Dilemma: Young Readers' Edition chpter 11
Precis: The non-organic food chain over the years have made great strides. Its good to know that the animals and plants that go into our meals weren't infected by pesticides. Also its good to know that no soils were poisoned. In recent studies we discovered that organic foods and vegetables contained higher levels of vitamin c and had a natural chemical called polyphenols.
Quote: The study showed that the organic fruits and vegetables contained higher levels of vitamin C. They also had a wider range of natural chemicals called polyphenols.
Thoughts: I cant believe that fruits and vegetables were this good for you.I knew they were good for you because I knew they are a good source of vitamin C, etc. But I had no idea it had polyphenols. And until now i didn't know what polyphenols were.
