Is it me or does the 'Organic' Claim really not hold that much significance anymore??

According to an article on the BBC's website, the Food Standards Agency has released a report, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, which claims to have found no differences in most nutrients in organically or conventionally grown crops, including in vitamin C, calcium, and iron. The same was true for studies looking at meat, diary and eggs. Differences that were detected, for example in levels of nitrogen and phosphorus, were most likely to be due to differences in fertilizer use and ripeness at harvest and are unlikely to provide any health benefit, the report concluded.
