Organic Foods Not Healthier

A study commissioned by the British government's Food Standards Agency, which systematically reviewed the findings of 162 scientific studies, finds organic foods are not healthier. Reuters indicates the meta-analytic study was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

The Reuters article summarizing the findings can be found in the Ottawa Citizen. The article doesn't indicate whether organic foods taste better; I'd like to see the results of a double-blind study of that question.
