A STUDY ON ORGANIC FOOD Vs CONVENTIONAL FOOD WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO KERALA

In the modern era, our food choices are influenced by a variety of factors. This
study aims to examine the differences between consuming organic and conventional
foods, focusing specifically on two key aspects: flavour and health benefits. While the
taste of organic and conventional foods shows little variation once prepared, organic
foods are believed to offer greater health advantages. Conventional foods may require
less effort for digestion, which could potentially slow down the body's metabolic rate.
Recent epidemiological research in humans suggests that consuming organic foods is
linked to a reduced risk of allergies, although results from clinical intervention studies
remain inconclusive. It is hypothesized that organic food may enhance an organism’s
overall resilience. However, to validate this theory, more targeted health effect studies
on organic food are needed.
