Benefits of organic food has been harped upon by many nutritionists, though many believe that the benefits of organic food is far greater than conventional foods it still stands as a perception more so than theory , however this does stand strong amongst many and perhaps the main reason behind the increased demand for organic food stuff.In the face of medical research however the increased benefits of organic food over conventional food stuff is yet to be proven, which has led the even the FDA and the USDA to claim that non organic food is just as nutritious as organic food stuff. However certain foods do carry some superior benefits of organic food, for example it has been revealed that organic milk and tomatoes are far superior to its non organic counterparts. For example organic milk is shown to contain more antioxidants and Omega 3 fatty acids and vitamins than non organic milk. These findings are according to the University of Aberdeen?s Danish Institute of Agricu ltural Research and the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research, who claim that organic milk is of better nutritional quality due to the fact that the cows are pasture grazed and even .Further research conducted by the Committee for Independent Research and Information on Genetic Engineering, which is a non for profit independent organization committed to study the impact of genetically modified corn as well as food in general recently corroborated the evidence of the earlier researchers that certain organs have been negatively impacted by genetically modified food, namely the kidneys, the liver, the heart, the adrenal glands and the spleen.

In May 2009, Germany has officially banned genetically engineered food from their country but most other countries continue their use. In the USA, it is more of an individual preference whether they are going to consume genetically engineered food or natural food and it has been made official that all GMO food are to be labeled with their ingredients and their genetic status while non-GMO foods are not to contain any enhanced components. However, with the increasing population and slow reduction of farming land, GMOs may just be our only hope to keep our generation as well as the future generations from imminent starvation.
