Is organic worth it?

Organic food is certainly more expensive - but is it actually any
better for you? Confused by conflicting news stories, Leo Hickman goes
in search of the truth

It's never nice to think that you are, potentially, being taken for a
mug. I have been eating organic food as much as I can now for about
three years, but each time I see a new and emotive headline about the
alleged pros or cons of eating organic, I can't help but wonder whether
it's really worth the extra cost. Everyone I talk to about this seems
equally confused. I know there's no proof that it's more nutritious per
se, but I'm confident that organic farming techniques are better for
the environment - but is organic better for your health? All we ever
seem to get are conflicting stories.
