Why Dr. Oz is wrong about organics

My mom is an avid watcher of the Dr. Oz show. So, after I read what Dr. Mehmet Oz had to say about organic foods, I told my mom. Her response may surprise you.

Dr. Oz recently talked about a new study on organic foods in a Time magazine interview. The study had declared that organic produce is no more nutritious than conventional produce.
