Organic food does not reduce women's risk of cancer - Medical News Today

Organic food does not reduce women's risk of cancer - Medical News Today:



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.



"Dr. Claire Knight, health information manager at Cancer Research UK, says the study adds to increasing evidence that eating organic food does not lower the risk of developing cancer, but she suggests people should wash their fruits and vegetables before eating them if they are worried about pesticide residue."
