Keep in mind that they only tested for pesticides used in modern farming, not the pesticides used in organic farming. If you tested for the pesticides on the organic food then you would detect those in their urine after the switch, but not before. If you took corn out of their diet, you would also stop detecting corn in their urine, but who cares? The question is whether or not their health improved, and it apparently did not. Eat whatever you want. Don't lie to yourself about the magical effects of certain foods.

Well said the last comment. Organics is not what most people think it is.

Well no shit you end up with less pesticides when you eat organic. What would have been useful information is learning how harmful eating processed food actually is. If anything this video has lead me to believe the difference has got to be almost undetectable, or else they would have said something. This video is useless.
