Article Synopsis
- The interest in organic food has grown over the past decade, with some studies indicating better nutrient quality in organic fruits and vegetables, but it's unclear if they offer significant health advantages over conventional food.
- A systematic review of literature from 2003 to 2022 included 12 human studies, which often presented conflicting results and had various methodological flaws.
- Overall, current evidence lacks a clear conclusion on the health benefits of an organic diet compared to conventional produce, highlighting the need for better-designed interventional studies.
Humans are daily exposed to mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) from the diet. We exposed female Fischer 344 rats to a broad mixture and sub-fractions of MOSH. Chemical characterization of the MOSH mixture used and material accumulated in rat tissues were previously reported (Barp et al.

Apple peel not only contains more polyphenols than the flesh, but also is likely to contain pesticide residues. The present study aimed to compare the contents of certain micronutrients and residual pesticide levels in peeled and unpeeled apples.

We aimed to assess associations between dietary pesticide exposure profiles and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) among NutriNet-Santé cohort participants.
Methods: Participants completed a Food Frequency Questionnaire at baseline, assessing conventional and organic food consumption.
Few studies have investigated the relationships between organic food consumption, dietary patterns, monetary diet cost, health, and the environment. To address these issues, a consortium of French epidemiologists, nutritionists, economists, and toxicologists launched the BioNutriNet project in 2013. In 2014, an FFQ documented the usual organic and nonorganic (conventional) food consumption of approximately 35,000 NutriNet-Santé participants.
