Intro to Talk:  ORGANIC NUTRITION

It is very difficult to scientifically prove whether eating organic food is better for our health. However, there are a number of facts that can help us draw basic conclusions. We can look at the research evidence comparing nutrient content of organic and non-organic foods, we can look at people's instinctual view about organic food and we can look at the experiential evidence of nutritional practitioners. The talk will also look at what health effects have be scientifically correlated with the ingestion of chemical food additives, such as those found on and in non-organic foods.
