Organic food doesn't prevent cancer... [View all]

Another woo belief goes "pif."

Women who mostly or always eat organic foods have the same overall chance of developing cancer as women who never eat it, according to a new study from the UK's University of Oxford and published in the British Journal of Cancer that followed over 600,000 middle-aged women for nearly a decade.

One of the investigators, Tim Key, professor of epidemiology and deputy director of the Cancer Epidemiology Unit at Oxford, says:

"In this large study of middle-aged women in the UK we found no evidence that a woman's overall cancer risk was decreased if she generally ate organic food."
