A press release at AlphaGalileo notes that in “one of the most comprehensive and definitive studies of its kind to date, a team of researchers at the University of California, Davis have proven that organically grown kiwifruit contain more health-promoting factors than those grown under conventional conditions.” (emphasis mine)
While I am not terribly surprised about the findings, I find it somewhat interesting that the word “conventional” has in the case of farming come to mean the type of farming that has become typical (at least in the western world) only in the past century or so.
The study, by the way, also mentions that a diet rich in grapefruit lowers cholesterol levels. Yum yum.
