Organic farming might be better for the land, but is it better for our health? We sat down with Dr. John Swartzberg, head of the Wellness Letter Editorial Board, to find whether or not our bodies care if we eat organic.

Dr. Swartzberg made an error in logic.
He said pesticides are bad for the farm workers but, there is no evidence there are proven health benefits from Organic Food.
This would mean that pesticides are bad in large quantities but harmless in low quantities
because we have no proof to the contrary.
He needs to review his logic. If he cannot see his error, I would recommend you find another expert who does not suffer from his mental problems, perhaps induced by food with a low quantity of pesticide.
I hope it is not too late for him to clean his system by eating, pesticide-free organic food.
Thank you for your fine show. I an a faithful watcher and very much like you “upbeat” presentation. Keep up the good work.
