Are organic foods healthier for you? In this episode of the Dr. Oz Show, Dr. Oz agrees with guest Dr. Alan Green, a well-known pediatrician and author, that a headline-grabbing recent study- stating that organic foods are no healthier than non-organic foods- was misleading. Dr. Green explains that organic foods are grown without hormones, anitbiotics and pesticides, and that the study glossed over the role of pesticides. He talks about the effects of "real world" levels of pesticides and says that potatoes have one of the highest levels of pesticides, along with blueberries and strawberries.
