Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays. Consumers have been willing to pay u
24、p to twice more for goods with organic labels (商标). However, if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product, you might want to save your money. A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products arent necessarily more nutriti
25、ous, and theyre no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria, either.The latest results, published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine, suggest that buyers may be wasting their money. “We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier,“ says Dr. Crystal Smit
26、h-Spangler from Stanford. “So consumers shouldnt assume that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer.“For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research, including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against
27、 traditional food products, and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and fats.While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remai
28、ning on the surfaces. Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards. And both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates. The researchers did find that organ
29、ic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease. However, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends.- 5
30、-Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesnt always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that “whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the b
31、iggest effect on taste.“ Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic.32. The new research questions whether organic food _.A. should replace traditional food B. has been overpriced by farmersC. is grown with less harmful chemicals D. is really more nutritious and healthier33. Smit
32、h-Spangler and her colleagues found that _.A. organic food could reduce the risk of heart diseaseB. traditional food was grown with more natural methodsC. both organic and traditional food they examined were safeD. there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food34. Which of the fol
33、lowing is relatively healthier according to the passage?A. Organic chicken and pork. B. Organic milk and chicken.C. Traditional chicken and pork. D. Traditional fruit and vegetables.35.
