Health food, or organic food, is a "non-medical term defined by the lay public as a food that has little or no preservatives, which has not undergone major processing, enrichment or refinement and which may be grown without pesticides. Health foods have been attributed with the ability to prevent the development of diseases, slow the aging process, and prolong life."[1]
A systematic review of research concluded that "there is no evidence of a difference in nutrient quality between organically and conventionally produced foodstuffs."[2]
