Eating organic food has several benefits, including reduced exposure to synthetic pesticides and herbicides, which may enhance overall safety and health. Organic foods often contain higher levels of beneficial nutrients like antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and certain vitamins and minerals, potentially leading to improved health outcomes[2][3][5]. Additionally, organic farming practices are generally better for the environment and promote animal welfare[4][5].
However, drawbacks include higher costs due to lower production yields and more labor-intensive farming methods, making organic items often more expensive than their conventional counterparts. Moreover, organic foods typically have a shorter shelf life and may carry a higher risk of bacterial contamination, such as E. coli, compared to conventional foods[1][4][6].
