Larry, I don't doubt your sincerity but haven't you ever wondered why diff studies done using the proper perimeters can have quite diff results?
I don't have it handy (I can do some hunting if you're in doubt) but a recent study that was done according to strict guidelines in the States (& had no affiliation with any compnies or policies, pro or con) did extensive testing on produce from major supermarkets & those from certified organic fod stores. Less strict testing was also done with the public on taste comparisons between the two.
While even the organic produce was found to contain contaminants (they're ubiquitous & we can't escape them), the levels were considered significantly lower. The taste test was highly in favour of the organic produce, people having no idea of whether they were trying organic or not.
