Yes! The big food companies will say, ‘oh, we tested and both organic and non-organic foods contain the same amount of calcium, magnesium, etc.’. But what they don’t tell you is this:
Plants evolved over millions of years absorbing dozens of micronutrients and trace elements from the organic soil, right? They don’t need all of these micronutrients, but the animals, including humans, who eat the plants *have* evolved to need them. Without these micronutrients, hundreds of biochemical processes can’t happen in our bodies, and normal repairs processes don’t go to completion. For example, you probably know that to build healthy bones you need calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D3. But you also need tiny amounts of Vitamin K and boron, and you’re not getting them from your food anymore. Why? Because modern petrochemical farming just puts back into the soil the three elements that *plants* need to grow, and the dozens of other micronutrients are *not* replaced! So, organically-grown foods have *all* the nutrients you need, plus virtually none of the pesticide, herbicides, and other toxin found in conventionally-grown soil.
An example is coffee. You may have heard that drinking coffee has been shown to help prevent Alzheimer’s. But it has to be organic! Organic coffee has all the micronutrients, flavonoids, and antioxidants that are good for your health. If you’re brewing non-organic coffee you’re brewing pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other toxins, and *not* getting the good stuff! Easy choice, right?
