About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here? Let's talk. The other half of the equation is blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science, please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick.

...I'm sure the Society of Chemical Industry can be 100% trusted to publish a totally factual article supporting non-organic farming.
That said, they kind of ignored the ecological impact of the farming methods completely. If all the food has the same nutrients (a conclusion I'm NOT willing to grant based on this study, in case that wasn't clear), but two of the three methods damage the ecology in and around the farm itself, I think there's kind of a clear winner *anyway*.
Plus? TASTE. Anybody who's actually compared produce grown with and without chemical additives doesn't need a study to tell them which is better!
