Namaste:

Is organic food more nutritious? I thought so until I read this article which says otherwise.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/release...07082954.htm

Have anyone tried natural farming food products?

I don't know.
My concern is not that it's more nutritious, but that it has less chemicals not good for the body. But organic food is so costly...

That article is written by the "Society of Chemical Industry". Organic methods are their enemies!

What is usually missed by big corporate agriculture is nature's strength in diversity. Fertilizer chemists will tell you that plants need nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus. So they formulate fertilizer with one nitrogen chemical, one potassium chemical, etc. But if you analyze the chemicals that contain nitrogen in compost, there are maybe fifty. Plants use each one in a slightly different way, and are stronger because of the diversity of chemicals.
For instance, commercial table salt contains NaCl; sodium and chlorine.
But if you analyze sea salt there are maybe 35 different chemicals. This gives your body a lot more to work with.
So if those same big agra chemists analyze an organic plant or soil, they will measure the level of nitrogen and be done with the nitrogen analysis, and say it has the same as chemical fertilized plants. But there is so much more to it; not only different permutations of each nitrogen compound, but also micro nutrients that are only now being understood, bacteria symbiosis, micro fungae etc. They tend to reject what they don't understand.

Some studies also indicate many more species living on organic fields (like 14 times more kinds of butterflies, compared to "conventional" farming ).
