Description

Buying organic is a booming food trend. It is also a trend that comes with a health halo for being more nutritious, healthier and tastier than conventional produce. But how do these claims stack up when you look at the research behind them? And is the price premium you pay for organic worth it? In this podcast, I look at the health merits of organic food and unpick those health and nutrition claims.Links referred to in the podcastSystematic review of organic vs conventional food 2012 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22944875 Systematic review of organic vs conventional food 2014 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24968103  Serving McDonald’s to food experts prank https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Qa6QXBxxWwEpisode transcriptTo access the full episode transcript, go to the following link and select the individual podcast episode and then click on the ‘Transcript’ tab https://thinkingnutrition.buzzsprout.comConnect with meInstagram: doctimcroweFacebook: Thinking NutritionTwitter: CroweTim
