Junk Food in Med School

1.It's called sarcasm.

2. So then that word was correct according to you- no sarcasm then.

Very clever, but I didn't say non-organic foods had specific health benefits either.

By "Organic," do you mean carbon based?​

Help! I know that drinking bottled water is a big no-no, for environmental and health reasons! Think of all that BPA and the huge plastic island in the Pacific, right?

Ok, but then I read this:

Tap Water Might Be Legal, but Unhealthy

The federal law regulating tap water is so out of date that the water Americans drink can pose serious health risks.

Am I safest if I stick with vodka?

Yes. Drink only glass bottle vodka (no Potters) and just like water, you need 8 glasses a day to be healthy.

There is evidence that pesticides, hormones, and antibiotics are unhealthy. There are some scientific papers right in this thread. EWG has also done studies measuring levels of pesticides in the human body. Having "only" a few percent of LD of a given pesticide in your body is not exactly healthy.

To make it easier: take a week's worth of food, all organic. Let's say you have already eatten it. At the same time, take the pesticides those foods would contain if they were not organic and put them in a glass. Now tell me if drinking a weekly glass of pesticides in addition to your food is congruent to not drinking them..............

AFAIK, there are no studies showing measurable, clinical benefits of eating organic food. If you know of any, please post them.

As for your bolded point, you may want to think about that a bit more carefully. I am sure that your organic diet provides you with >1% LD of many substances every day.
