By Neil E. Levin, CCN, DANLA

The method by which similar types of crops are grown - organic, conventional or genetically engineered (GE, biotech, GMO) – can produce food with different nutritional profiles. Are organics really no more nutritious than conventionally grown crops? Do currently grown biotech foods really provide more nutrients than similar types of conventional foods? What do we know about the heavy metal content of foods grown by different methods? Are USDA food nutrient tables even accurate in this era of changing agricultural practices? Learn the secrets of how our foods are changing, for better or for worse.
