“Little Evidence of Health Benefits from Organic Food”, study finds; Sept. 3, 2012.
Dr. Bravata (lead author) states:“Two studies of children consuming organic and

Eskenazi, 2010. Chamacos study (funded by EPA)Mothers’ exposures to OPs during pregnancy:1. Shorter duration of pregnancy.2. Poorer neonatal reflexes.3. Lower IQ/decreased cognitive function.4. Increased risk of attention problems.5. PON1 gene and enzyme – helps body detoxify OPs:
certain genetic polymorphisms were associated with increased risk of pervasive developmental disorder – category of developmental disorders that include autism spectrum disorders.
